Gender Gaps in Unemployment Rates in OECD Countries
解释经合组织国家中男女失业率差距的跨国差异，发现差距源于就业到失业和失业到就业的双向流动差异，且人力资本积累与劳动力市场制度的交互作用是关键因素。
In some OECD countries the male and female unemployment rates are very similar but in others (notably the Mediterranean countries) the female unemployment rate is much higher than the male. Explaining these cross-country differences is the subject of this article. We show that, in countries where there is a large gender gap in unemployment rates, there is a gender gap in both flows from employment into unemployment and from unemployment into employment. We conclude that differences in human capital accumulation between men and women interacted with labor market institutions is an important part of the explanation.
