In this paper we estimate the interdependence of labour force participation decisions made by Australian couples from 2001 to 2011. We focus on couples with a mature age husband, and estimate the interdependence of the participation decision of the couple.
We fnd that the decision of a wife to work or not influences positively, and in a casual fasion, the decision of her husband to work or not.
