Abstract
We use the World Bank enterprise survey for the Egyptian manufacturing
sector in order to estimate pooled and random effects Probit and Tobit regressions for the probability that a firm employs any female workers and for the female employment share. Our main findings suggest that female employment at the firm-level is more likely and more intense if the firm is led by a top manager with a university degree and with foreign experience in management jobs, if the firm is an exporter with more export experience, and if the firm does not employ unionized workers.
