| dc.description.abstract | Surveys on Labour Force participation in both the fonn al and the infonnal sectors show that women are disproportionately concentrated in certain activities, with limited access to more remunerative enterprises. In Ethiopia, also women constitute a majority of the poor, while at the .same time they constitute a larger proportion of the household heads. Even though, regarding the factors that make women's participation decisions in the different sector are important there is no detailed study focusing on this issue in the area under investigation. Hence, this study investigated demographic and socio-economic detenninants of manied working women labour force participation in the labour market in Hawassa City Administration of SNNPR. In order to achieve the objective and requirements of the study, the methodology employed here is a multistage cluster sampling design. The study employed both bi-variate and logistic analysis. 599 eligible women were selected using systematic random sampling techniques in 10 Enumeration Area (EAs) belonging to the three female labour forc e categories (fonnal, infonnal and non working). The result of the analysis leads to the conclusion that educational status and marital stability significantly detennine female labour force participations in the area under study. On the other hand, ethnicity, age, religion, migration and husband education are found insignificant to detennine the propensity of women participation to labour market. Finally, from the findings of the study it is recommended that regional state and central govenunent should concentrate on increasing female labour force participation with appropriate policy of providing education to all females of school age as well as labour market policies, programs and initiatives need to be developed in order to improve the current situation and promote labour market participation of woman 's.
