abstract: 'Job loss leads to persistent adverse labor market outcomes, but

  assessments of gender differences in labor market recovery are lacking.

  We utilize plant closures in Denmark to estimate gender gaps in labor

  market outcomes and document that women face an increased risk of

  unemployment and lose a larger share of their earnings in the two years

  following job displacement. The majority of the gender gap in

  unemployment remains after accounting for observable differences in

  human capital across men and women. In a standard decomposition

  framework, we document that child care imposes an important barrier to

  women''s labor market recovery regardless of individual characteristics.'
