“…Fourth, controlling for having a part-time job or full-time displaced job, we take into account the static confounding effects of human capital accumulation. Finally, the setting of job displacement limits confounding effects of fertility and home relocation, as job displacement reduces the likelihood of having children (Del Bono et al, 2015;Huttunen and Kellokumpu, 2016) as well as the incidence of changing home in the Netherlands (Meekes and Hassink, 2019b).…”

We study whether women and men cope with job loss differently, focusing on the importance of workers' job flexibility and household setting. Our empirical analysis is based on Dutch administrative monthly micro data over the period 2006-2017 using a quasi-experimental design involving job loss following firm bankruptcy. We find for displaced women, but not for displaced men, a persistence in job flexibilities involving limited working hours and short commutes. Importantly, job loss results in a smaller loss in hourly wages and longer unemployment for women, narrowing the gender wage gap but widening the gender employment gap. Also, we show that female workers who are pregnant when job loss occurs experience large losses in employment and conditional on re-employment take up a flexible job. Policy advice is to put a safety net in place to protect pregnant women against the long-term consequences of job loss.

“…Such ties to local labor markets means that the characteristics of those markets might play a significant role in shaping labor market scarring. For example, Meekes and Hassink (2019) show that the local housing market significantly affects workers following job losses-the effect of displacement on their probability of changing homes is negative. Lessons from the previous section already suggest that the amount of concentration in an industry might affect employment and wages.…”
