DESCRIPTION:It is widely recognised that the labour force participation ra
 te of women in England and Wales declined significantly during the second 
 half of nineteenth century. The theoretical explanation of this decline is
  an association with Z-goods production by mothers getting more valued. Ho
 wever\, empirical evidence supporting this explanation have not been thoro
 ughly explored. While previous studies have been based on smaller samples 
 compiled from collections of patchy data or datasets at a single point in 
 time\, this study carries out a comparative static analysis using the full
  samples of the 1851 and 1891 Census Enumerators Books (I-CeM data). Verif
 ying changes in labour supply behaviours of married women between the two 
 periods\, this exercise suggests that married women became more likely to 
 respond to husbands' income and the importance of Z-goods production for c
 hildcare increased.
