Previous studies usually focus on the labour supply side of female employment. Unlike the previous literature, this paper investigates firm-level determinants of female employment in manufacturing firms using a unique micro data set constructed using different sources. After controlling for geographical variation, firm, and industry-specific factors, our results show that larger firms, exporter firms, firms with higher part-time worker ratio, and foreign-owned firms have higher female employment rate whereas younger firms, firms with higher labour productivity, and firms with long working hours have lower female employment rate.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFemale Labour Force ParticipationLabour & Xfeff;Supply& Xfeff;Firm & Xfeff;DataTurkeyEmploymentArticle2-s2.0-8507862486210.1080/13504851.2019.1707757161019Q2160727Q3WOS:000505883700001
