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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOGENDER ISSUESEMPLOYMENTNONFARM SECTORSKILLED WORKERSOCCUPATIONAL MOBILITYMOTHERS' EDUCATIONESTIMATION THEORYWOMEN'S ADVANCEMENTWOMEN'S EMPLOYMENTWOMEN'S ROLE IN HOUSEHOLDOCCUPATIONAL SKILL LEVELS AGRICULTUREASSETSBENEFIT ANALYSISCAPACITY BUILDINGCONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKCOSTS OF EDUCATIONDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDISTANCE TO SCHOOLEDUCATIONEDUCATION LEVELEMPIRICAL ANALYSISEMPIRICAL STUDIESEMPLOYMENTENDOGENOUS VARIABLESEXOGENOUS VARIABLESEXPECTED UTILITYEXTERNALITIESEXTERNALITYFATHERSFORMAL EDUCATIONGIRLSGIRLSHUMAN CAPITALINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINHERITANCEINVESTMENT IN EDUCATIONLABOR FORCELEARNINGLETLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONMAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATIONMIGRATIONMOBILITYMOTHERSMULTIPLIER EFFECTNETWORK EXTERNALITIESOPTIMIZATIONPAPERSPARENTSPERMANENT INCOMEPOLICY RESEARCHPRODUCTIVITYREGRESSION ANALYSISSCHOOLINGURBAN AREASUTILITY FUNCTIONOCCUPATIONAL SKILL LEVELSAGRICULTURE10.1596/1813-9450-3087
