abstract: 'Making use of EU-Labour Force Survey data, the authors estimated

  logistic regressions with a maximum likelihood method and found that

  gender unemployment risk was largely explained by human capital, marital

  status, receiving financial support, job experience and gender

  discrimination in both Poland and the Czech Republic. The gender

  unemployment risk gap amounted to 8\% and 10\% in Poland and the Czech

  Republic, respectively. Although the impact of marital status was

  significant and considerable, married women in the Czech Republic

  benefited from their marital status on average three times less than men

  in the Czech Republic, and men and women in Poland. In both countries

  only women aged below 30 were `rewarded'', while women beyond 50 years of

  age were penalized in terms of unemployment risk. As opposed to that,

  men up to 60 years old have their unemployment risk reduced all else

  equalled. The authors argue that this form of possible discrimination in

  some respects is a better measure of injustice than the commonly used

  pay gap and it constitutes an alternative dimension of `gender

  inequality''. The results can contribute to better targeted policies

  against discriminatory practices by enhancing the career paths demanded

  in the labour market and by breaking the stereotypes rooted in the

  cultures of Polish and Czech societies.'
