Panel Estimates of Male and Female Turnover Behavior: Can Female Non-Quitters Be Identified? Journal of Labor Economics 10,2 (April 1992): 156-182. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2535245 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: University of Chicago Press Keyword(s): Gender Differences; Job Tenure; Job Turnover; Quits; Work Attachment; Work Experience; Work Histories Using NLS data on Young Men and Young Women born between 1944 and 1952, the authors estimate proportional hazard models in order to learn whether it is more difficult for employers to identify female non-quitters than male non-quitters. It was found that women may be a higher risk than men in the overall sample because they are relatively more likely to be "movers" for unobserved reasons and because they tend to quit for reasons that cannot be observed ex ante (such as the birth of a child). When focus was on a relatively recent birth cohort, however, the authors found that women have lower quit rates than men and that the men are more likely to be the "movers." |
