Resumen:
the objective of this study was to analyze the participation of women in the labor market and the
effect on economic growth in Mexico, 2000-2021.
Design/Methodology/Approach: three multiple linear regression models were developed using the Ordinary
Least Squares method.
Results: the most statistically significant variables were the exchange rate, wage and the employed female
population. The most significant elasticities were found at an increase of 10.0% of the employed female
population, the GDP would increase by 7.83%. For the model where only the employed female population was
analized, at an increase of 10% in it, the GDP would increase by 10.01%.
Study limitations/Implications: the main limitation was that the information is not available from a single
source and the figures vary depending on the official institution.
Findings/Conclusions: based on the results obtained, it is concluded that the participation of women in the
labor market does increase economic growth.
