Summary/Abstract: The behaviour of women and men in the labour market is diverse. Traditionally, men have closer attachment to the labour market. Women, however, have more family responsibilities. In the paper, we analyse the exit rates from unemployment for each sex separately, and find out that the effects of the explanatory variables in estimated duration models depend upon gender. We begin our study with a single risk hazard model. These estimations are extended to a competing risks model with two destinations: employment and non-participation.
