“…Employment falls after displacement for workers over 55, often permanently, suggesting that displacement hastens retirement (Chan and Stevens , , ; Rodriguez and Zavodny ). Unmarried women have postdisplacement outcomes similar to those of men, whereas married women, especially those with young children, have less employment and shorter hours postdisplacement.…”

“…Unmarried women have postdisplacement outcomes similar to those of men, whereas married women, especially those with young children, have less employment and shorter hours postdisplacement. Otherwise, there are few sex differences in wage losses (Rodriguez and Zavodny ). Those demographic differences suggest that intrahousehold reallocation is at work, but the impetus for that reallocation may stem from reductions in earnings opportunities attributable to any of the other theories of earnings loss.…”

Why Do Earnings Fall with Job Displacement?

Displaced workers experience reduced earnings for many years. While this empirical phenomenon is well established, the theory of displacement-induced earnings loss is scattered. Policy discussion often interprets displacement-induced losses through the lens of specific human capital theory but there are other credible theories with different causal mechanisms and different interpretations. This paper reviews theories of costly job displacement and discusses their consistency with the available empirical evidence for the United States. We find that specific human capital theory and matching theory have considerable but far from conclusive empirical support. We suggest avenues for better discriminating among theories. *The authors' affiliations are, respectively, Congressional Budget Office, Washington, DC.

“…And women tended to be in less powerful or lower status jobs, so losing these jobs was not seen as important. Rodriguez and Zavodny (2001) found that after an involuntary job loss, unmarried women had post‐job loss outcomes similar to men, whereas married women's outcomes were different. Women with young children were less likely to be reemployed and more likely to not be in the workforce.…”

PurposeThe study seeks to compare the experiences of job loss and reemployment experiences among female and male higher level managers and professionals.Design/methodology/approachThe paper compares data collected at two periods in time from (n=120) females and (n=184) males who completed two self‐report questionnaires.FindingsRelatively few gender differences were observed in the present study. The fact that females and males experienced the job loss and re‐employment process similarly was interpreted as a sign of progress. Main differences were found in networking and personality types, with men being more successful in networking and less agreeable types.Research limitations/implicationsThis is a self‐report study and somewhat smaller sample at time two. Secondly, some of the findings may not generalize to those outside of outplacement.Practical implicationsOutplacement services may use these findings in guiding their counseling practice and focusing more on helping female executives in their networking efforts for example.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the gender literature by looking at experience of job loss and reemployment for a particular and rarely examined group of individuals. It offers new knowledge on gender differences among executives and higher level managers.

Using data from the two cohorts of the NLSY, we examine whether income losses due to involuntary job separations have changed over time. We find that wage losses among men are similar between the two cohorts. However, women in the 1979 cohort show little evidence of wage losses while women in the 1997 cohort experience wage losses similar to those of men. We present evidence that changes in occupations across cohorts help explain these results.
