ABSTRACT This article investigates the direct and indirect effects of female education on full-time labour market employment using Guinean demographic and health surveys. It addresses potential endogeneity of female education, unobserved heterogeneity and sample selectivity concerns using the control function model and a non-self-cluster identification strategy. Results show that female education has a diminishing direct effect on full-time employment, with the inverted-U-shaped relationship portraying that women with seven-plus years of schooling are less likely to be regularly employed than their counterparts with less years of schooling. Interacting female education and its square with the corresponding reduced form residuals increase the probability of full-time labour market employment – an indication that female education and unobserved correlates are complementary. Thus, highly educated Guinea women do not increase their full-time market engagements – a pointer of the importance they may be attributing to home-produced goods and services that push them to perhaps prefer flexi-work arrangements such as occasional or seasonal market engagements.

几内亚的女性教育和全职工作：一种模棱两可的关系

摘要 本文利用几内亚人口和健康调查研究了女性教育对全职劳动力市场就业的直接和间接影响。它使用控制函数模型和非自我聚类识别策略解决了女性教育的潜在内生性、未观察到的异质性和样本选择性问题。结果表明，女性教育对全职就业的直接影响递减，倒 U 形关系表明，受过 7 年以上教育的女性比受教育年限较短的女性更不可能经常就业。将女性教育及其平方与相应的减少形式残差相互作用会增加全职劳动力市场就业的可能性——这表明女性教育和未观察到的相关性是互补的。因此，受过高等教育的几内亚妇女并没有增加她们的全职市场参与度——这表明她们可能认为家庭生产的商品和服务很重要，这促使她们可能更喜欢弹性工作安排，例如偶尔或季节性的市场活动。
