The authors present an empirical
analysis of intergenerational links in nonfarm participation
with a focus on gender effects. Using survey data from
Nepal, the evidence shows that the mother exerts a strong
influence on a daughter's employment choice. Having a
mother in a nonfarm sector raises a daughter's
probability of nonfarm participation by 200 percent. The
effects are truly dramatic for skilled nonfarm jobs. Having
a mother in a skilled job raises a daughter's
probability by 1,200 percent. Having a father in a nonfarm
sector, on the other hand, does not have any significant
effect on a son's probability of nonfarm participation
when the endogeneity of education and assets is corrected
for by the two-stage conditional maximum likelihood
approach. But a moderate positive intergenerational
correlation between fathers and sons exists for skilled jobs.
