Gender and industry differences in employment cyclicality: evidence over the postwar period
研究了就业周期性如何因性别和行业而异,发现男性就业的顺周期性更强,且男性在波动性高的行业占比过高是性别差距的主要原因。
This paper explains how cyclical patterns of employment vary between genders and across industries and how these two factors are related by gender differences in the industry distribution of workers. Evidence shows that men's employment is more procyclical than women's and that men's overrepresentation in highly volatile industries more than accounts for the gender gap in employment cyclicality.
