[...] Studies examining the relationship between national characteristics and immigrant women's labour activities conclude that source-country female labour force participation levels closely capture gender-role attitudes, and that the observed association between source-country female labour force participation and immigrant women's subsequent labour market activities in the host country primarily refl [...] Model 1 examines the effect of source-country gender-role attitudes in the absence of the source-country female labour force participation rate; Model 2 examines the effect of the source-country female labour force participation rate in the absence of source-country gender-role attitudes; Model 3 examines the effects of the two factors in the presence of each other.
