Abstract
This paper attempts to identify the major determinants of individuals labour
force participation in Gromia Region and to examine how these
determinants are associated with individuals labour force participation. The
data from the J 994 Population and Housing census of Ethiopia, are
analyzed by the logistic regression model. A number of potential variables
for inc/us ion in the logistic regression are identified on the basis of results
of the chi-squared tests and also on the basis of theoretical models which
explain individual 's participation in the labour force. The results suggest
that age, sex, marital status, educational level, ethnicity, place of residence
and disability status are important factors while religion does not
sign!ficantly affect individuals in Gromia Region entering into the labour
force.
Finally, J would like to forward that up to date investigation in the work
status of individuals at national and/or regional level is very important.
Researchers who try to examine the determiningfactors of work status in the
future have to take into account those variables that are not included in this
study.
