Explaining the gender gaps in unemployment across OECD countries

There is substantial heterogeneity in the gender gaps in unemployment across OECD countries.

The model can explain most of the gender gaps in unemployment across the OECD countries. We �find that each component is quantitatively important to match the gender gaps in unemployment.
