Abstract

Men and women behave differently in the labour market. Traditionally men have closer attachment to the labour market and women have a higher family responsibilities. In the paper we analyse the exit rates from unemployment for each sex separately and find that the effects of the expanatory variables in estimated duration models depend upon gender. We begin our study with a single risk hazard model. These estimations are extended to a competing risks model with two destinations: employment and non-participation. The empirical investigation is based on data from the Labour Force Survey in Poland (BAEL). The results achieved show that drawing conclusion when gender differences are not considered can lead to misperceptions.
