Asset Ownership, Income Inequality, Labor Force Participation Rate, Logit Model.

The participation rate of female of a nation in its labour force is one of the most important indicators for determining its women empowerment status as well as the overall development. The key objective of this research was to study the determinants of rural female labour force participation in Sirajganj district of Bangladesh. To investigate impacts of the determinants on the female labour force participation decision, the study included income of the household, education level of the household head, education level of the woman, age of the woman, family size, asset ownership by the woman, occupation of the household head, marital status and available work opportunity as the determinants. A set of cross-sectional data has been used for the analysis of the study. The research applied a multi-stage sampling technique consists of purposive, cluster and simple random sampling, for the selection of 400 households having female members competent for inclusion in labour force, from four upazilas of the district. Subsequently, a structured questionnaire has been used for collecting data from the sample households with the help of personal interview method. The research used a binary logistic regression model for assessing the effects of various specified factors on the rural female labour force participation in the selected area. The results showed that the female labour force participation decision is positively influenced by the income of the households from which the women belong, education level of the women, education level of the household head, family size and availability of work facility for the women in the locality. Contrarily, a negative association was found between female labour force participation decision and age of the female member, asset ownership by the woman, occupation of the household head and marital status of the woman. Beside many research findings, the study disclosed that the involvement in family responsibilities and taking care of children by the married women acts as barrier for participating in labour force. Consequently, the research suggested to create social childcare facilities at low cost aiming at rising the participation of rural female of Bangladesh in its labour force.
