Original Kurzfassung:
This paper presents new evidence on the determinants of unemployment duration for
men and women in Britain in the 1990s, using a nationally representative data set. It examines
the impact of individual and local labour market characteristics on the probability of
unemployment spells ending with moves into full and part-time employment, self-employment
and economic inactivity. The data show that the median duration of unemployment spells among
men, at 5 months, is almost double that for women, although much of this differential is
explained by exits to part-time work and economic inactivity among women. Multivariate
analysis suggests that policies to reduce unemployment duration and encourage full-time work,
especially among men, should be targeted towards those aged 25 and over on entering
unemployment and on increasing education levels. Mothers are found to have significantly
lower exit rates into full-time work than both men and childless women.
