In many countries, labor-force participation varies with cyclical fluctuations. One explanation is that people who would normally have sought work during better economic conditions become discouraged and do not seek employment when the economic situation is poorer and the chance of finding an acceptable job is small. By using a model for how labor-force participation varies with the business cycle, we compare the discouragement effect for married/cohabiting women born in Norway and immigrant women from non-western countries. The effect is considerably higher for some groups of immigrant women compared to women born in Norway.
