Description: Government policies can affect labor market outcomes. In 1971, the Malaysian government implemented the New Economic Policy (NEP), which gave differential economic benefits to Malays compared to non-Malays. In 1982, the New Population Policy (NPP) was introduced, which strongly encouraged the formation of larger families. Using the first and second Malaysian Family Life Surveys (MFLS), this study investigates whether these two policies differently affected the employment patterns of married women of three ethnic groups. The study finds that these policies did not have significantly different impacts on married women's employment across ethnic groups.
