Abstract	"The nature of married or cohabiting women's labor supply in Germany has undergone drastic changes over the past decades. Their employment ratio has risen while their average weekly hours worked have declined. This paper uses micro data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) in order to illustrate the changes in married women's labor supply between 1986 and 2000. It links these changes to women's own characteristics and to characteristics of the partner. There is strong evidence that the spouses' level of education as well as small children in the family systematically affect the wife's hours of work. There is also evidence of a negative interaction between the hours worked by a wife and her husband, particularly if both of them have at least a medium level of education." (author's abstract).
