Recent research asserts a connection between women’s labor force participation and women’s participation in conflict. Studies show that the degree of women’s pre-war labor market participation influences the odds that women will be recruited into violent political organizations and the lethality of their violent campaigns. Scholars have yet to flip this relationship on its head by examining whether women’s participation in war influences women’s post-war employment. There is reason, however, to believe such a relationship exists. Women’s active roles during conflict are believed to yield post-conflict social transformations. Indeed, recent work finds a clear relationship between women’s wartime experiences and women’s postwar political empowerment. To date, however, scholars have yet to examine the connection between women’s conflict participation and women’s post-conflict economic empowerment. This paper fills this lacuna, investigating whether women’s wartime roles deepen women’s post-conflict labor force participation rates. I argue that when women take on greater labor within rebel organizations, they are primed to fulfill greater roles in the post-war economy. Using data from the aftermath of civil conflicts between 1960 and 2023, I demonstrate that women's participation in rebellion is associated with positive changes in women's post-conflict participation in the formal economy. The roles women adopt within violent organizations matter, however. Particularly, the findings suggest women's combat participation is associated with women's increased participation in traditionally male-dominated sectors of employment, while women's participation in non-combat roles appears to decrease such post-conflict participation.
