Abstract

This study uses recently-released data from the 1981 census to reex amine the labor supply behavior of married women in Canada. Using J. J. Heckman's procedure to correct for selectivity bias and incorporating the influence of income taxes, this study finds small wage and income effects on Canadian wives ' labor supply. The estimat es are similar in magnitude to those reported by A. N akamura and M. Nakamura (1981) in their study of data from the 1971 census and t o t he estimates reported in a more recent Canadian study by C. Robinson and N. Tomes (1985) who used data drawn from the 1979 Quality of Life Survey.
