Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine factors that affect Honduran women's market sector participation and its impact on the family's level of living. The data were collected in Moroceli, Honduras, in 1981. The analysis, which includes correlations and regression methods, reveals that the Honduran woman in the informal sector is likely to have no formal education and to be part of afemale-headed household, relatively old, single, part of a free conjugal union arrangement, part of an extended family, and caring for a relatively greater number of young children. The participant in the formal sector is likely to be younger, also a member of an extended family, and married. She will have fewer young children in total but more of them will be toddlers. The woman'sparticipation in either sector raises the level of living for the household.
