Gender gaps from labour market downturns

Abstract: How quickly do men and women find work after mass lay-offs due to workplace closures? Research by Ria Ivandic and Anne Sophie Lassen reveals that women face a greater risk of unemployment than men and lose a larger share of their earnings. More of this gender gap is due to the unequal division of childcare responsibilities than to differences in education or seniority at work.
