LABOUR FORCE ATTACHMENT: EXPLAINING GENDER-DIFFERENCES IN EARNINGS AND EMPLOYMENT

A simple model id constructed to provide an explanation fro the observed differences in wages between women and men. Women, if expected to have a weaker attarchment to the labour force, will be less accessible to and earn lower wages than men in high-training jobs. this is due to the higher expected turnover costs associated with women. A brief discussion of the predictions of the model and the related policy implications is presented.
