Abstract

Esta investigación muestra que en algunos países de América Latina las mujeres cuyo primer hijo es un niño tienen menos probabilidades de trabajar que las mujeres con primogénitas. El objeto de estudio es tratar de entender por qué las mujeres reaccionan de esa manera. Para ello se puso a prueba la hipótesis del efecto de deseo por hijo niño (Dahl y Moretti, 2008) y del efecto divorcio (Bedard y Deschenes, 2005; Ananat y Michaels, 2008), a partir de una estrategia de identificación que considera que el sexo del primer hijo en la concepción es aleatorio.
