Gender Differences in Job Search among Young Workers: A Study Using Displaced Workers in the United States Southern Economic Journal 82,1 (July 2015): 185-207. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.4284/0038-4038-2012.239/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Southern Economic Association Keyword(s): Displaced Workers; Gender Differences; Job Search; Job Tenure; Wages This article investigates gender differences in job search, job tenure, and wages, whether these differences vary over the early part of the life-cycle, and whether they are associated with fertility decisions. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youths on highly attached displaced workers aged 20 to 45, we find that 20- to 29-year old women and women older than 40 experience longer spells of displacement than comparable men, but that time to a new job is similar by gender for those between 30 and 39 years of age. The age pattern in male-female wage differences in the post-displacement job is similar, with the largest differences occurring at ages 20 to 29 and over 40. We find no gender differences in tenure in the post-displacement job. We interpret the differences for the younger ages to be related to fertility and we provide evidence that supports this view. |
