Monmouth University Assistant Professor of Economics Katerine Ram\u00edrez and student James Allan will share their research paper, \u201cFemale Labor Force Participation and Care of Children in Coastal New Jersey,\u201d which was co-authored with Assistant Professor of Geography Geoffrey G. Fouad, at the 2021 International Population Conference<\/a> on Dec. 10. Organized by the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) and the host country of India, the event is billed as the world\u2019s largest international scientific conference on population and demography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference brings together researchers, policymakers and practitioners from diverse disciplines and from across the globe, to present and discuss the latest research on a broad range of contemporary population issues. Ram\u00edrez will present the paper virtually on a 9 a.m. (ET) Spatial Networks, Clusters and Accessibility panel, with Allan participating in the Q&A session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ram\u00edrez, Allan and Assistant Professor of GIS Geoffrey Fouad conducted research for the paper over the summer with support from the Urban Coast Institute\u2019s Heidi Lynn Sculthorpe Scholars Program. Drawing on federal and state data, the project explored the relationship between childcare availability, measured by the number of daycare facilities and their capacity, and the labor force participation of women in Jersey Shore communities. They further considered variables such as partners\u2019 marital status, and number and age of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
