Responses from working women (N=10 619) from 24 European countries (ESS R2) were analysed in this paper. The list of analysed characteristics comprised: female labour supply (measured as number of weekly hours worked) and a list of its potential determinants such as income, education, present life circumstances (children living at home, unpaid help available) and family background (whether mother was working when subject was 14) as well as beliefs regarding equal work opportunities between men and women. Results indicate that e.g. actual female labour supply does not coincide in most countries with women´s expectations. In some countries women reported to work fewer hours than they would like and in other countries they affirmed they work more hours than they would prefer. The relationship between female labour supply and selected determinants was statistically confirmed.

Working women with their highly relative bargaining power and compulsive buying behaviour can significantly affect household consumption expenditures. This study investigates the relationship between the number of working women and aggregate consumption expenditures. We examine the hypothesis that changes in the number of working women have a perceptible impact on per capita household consumption expenditures, by extension, on aggregate consumption. Using panel data for a set of The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries from 2000 – 2018, the outcomes of two-stage least squares and generalized method of moment estimations indicate that as the number of women increases, gross domestic consumption rises. The implied disparity in consumption propensities exists among different age groups of working women. These findings suggest the importance of considering working women’s spending behaviour and household decision-making in planning for the development of gross domestic consumption and output.
