“…Research suggests that previous economic crises, such as the inancial crisis, mainly affected jobs predominantly held by men. One contributing factor is the dominance of men in the private sector, which tends to be more susceptible to economic shocks (Jaba et al, 2015). This trend is re lected in Figure 4.2, which illustrates the percen tage point disparity in employment rates between men and women.…”

“…The gender gap in employment rates narrowed during the last global economic crisis in 2008. Although economic crises have historically had a relatively greater negative impact on women's employment than on men's (European Commission 2013), this was not the case during the 2008-2009 economic crisis, when the gender employment gap actually narrowed further (Cho -Newhouse 2013;Addabbo et al 2015;Jaba et al 2015). This decline was explained by a sharp drop in the number of workers in the sectors that employ predominantly male workers, such as construction (OECD 2012).…”

Among other things, the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected the use of time of individuals. The burdens seem to have been unequally distributed between men and women. This paper analyses gender differences in Slovenia in time spent on paid and unpaid work before and during the lockdown. The design of our study enables us to examine the change in time spent on 14 different activities in an average workday before and during the pandemic. We find that during the pandemic, the gender gap in paid work widened, meaning that men spent even more time on paid work compared to women. Men also began to cook, devoted more time to cleaning and spent significantly more time caring for children. Therefore, the gender gap in childcare, which was marginally significant before the pandemic, became insignificant. During the pandemic, women spent relatively more time on home maintenance, which in turn led to a narrowing of the gender gap in this activity.

“…Differences in output-employment elasticities across age or gender can be related to their different education attainment level. Education is particularly important for the participation rate of women in the labour market (Fitzenberger et al 2004) as it decreases the employment gap between women and men (Jaba et al 2015) and increases employability (OECD 2013), which is very important for youth. Since some studies of the output-unemployment relationship confirm that education is an important factor in determining the heterogeneous output-unemployment relationship and showing that unemployment reaction to economic fluctuations is higher for less educated people (Askenazy et al 2015;Kadiša et al 2021), we cannot find similar research in the context of output-employment relationship.…”

This paper analyses the gender-, age- and educational attainment level-specific output–employment relationship and its dependence on foreign direct investment (FDI). The unbalanced panel covers 25 European Union countries’ data from 2000 to 2020. Empirical estimations are made using the pooled OLS estimator. The impact of FDI on gender-, age- and educational attainment level-specific output–employment elasticities is estimated by including the multiplicative terms between gross domestic product (GDP) and FDI in regression models. The main results indicate the positive impact of economic growth on employment, with the highest output–employment elasticities for males and youth regardless of gender. The estimation results also indicate limited abilities of economic growth to increase the employment of highly educated people and females older than 25 years regardless of their educational attainment level. Our results suggest that higher FDI level in the host countries is mostly associated with the decreasing employment reaction to economic growth. Although FDI is an important factor affecting the output–employment relationship, it does not help to solve the problem of unemployment in the EU, especially for youth.
