Abstract: Today, women constitute 42% of the world’s labour force and their significance for economic growth and reducing gender inequality has been extensively investigated.1 Women’s work has never been a linear process of extending participation. Instead, female labour force participation (FLFP) has extended and curtailed throughout time. To expound the forces driving these fluctuations, it is imperative to approach this issue from a long-term historical perspective. This dissertation studies a period of contracting FLFP: the nineteenth-century Netherlands.
