Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to analyse the impact of gender on the probability of an unemployed person deregistering from a Labour Office because of finding income-generating work, refusal to accept a job, or other causes. Different competing events might become reasons for such a turn of events. The study uses survival analysis methods, helpful in the case of censored data. The cumulative incidence function (CIF) is used to assess competing risks. Gray's test was applied to examine differences in the influence of gender on the probability of deregistration due to a specific cause. The study was based on data of individual jobseekers registered at the County Labour Office in Szczecin.
