Differences in Male and Female Job-Quitting Behavior

Journal of Labor Economics 1986 4(2), 151-167
With data from the Employment Opportunities Pilot Programs (EOPP) Employers' Survey, this paper uses a continuous-time hazard model to analyze male and female job-quitting behavior. The EOPP sample is composed of recently hired workers with, at most, 2.5 years of tenure with the firm. Within this early stage of tenure, it is found that the probability of quitting declines with tenure for males and increases with tenure for females. This result leads to the conclusion that the job-matching process operates differently for females than it does for males.
