This study attempt s to analyse the trends and patterns of female labour force participation based on the 1960, 1970 and 1975 censuses .

It identifies the main work sequence s of Filipino women during the three life cycle stages - before marriage , the period between marriage and the first birth, and the period between the first birth and the survey date . In addition , the relationship between demographic and socio-economic factors and work sequences is examined and the work continuity during the life cycle stages is investigated . The discussion also focuses on whether the work experience before marriage is an important predictor of current work status.
