Abstract:
The vulnerability of women in the labor market is a well-established fact, but it can be long-lasting when a shock hits them. We examine women’s labor market conditions in a developing country with a substantial set of cultural norms and provide evidence that a job destructive shock persists longer among women. Specifically, probability of remaining unemployed after 20 months is about 50% for women while it is 10% for men. These findings are exacerbated for women who have not worked for more than 5 years and probably have lost their network or are new entrants in the job market. Moreover, women in the private sector, which is a more competitive market in Iran with respect to public jobs, are more prone to these burdens. The COVID-19 does not change this structure. Findings are robust to univariate Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate Cox models. These findings focus attention on policies that effectively break the vicious cycles causing sticky dynamics in the women’s labor market
