This paper investigates the impact of gender on the individual probability of being unemployed and makes a cross‑country comparison across 13 European countries during the European recession. Applying a general logit model for each country and capital, whilst controlling for the year, as well as for individual and regional characteristics, the probability of unemployment was estimated using individual labour force data from 2011 to 2014. Cook’s distance is used to examine the differences between labour markets of capital regions (or cities) and non‑capital regions. Using the size of Cook’s distance, models are calibrated, and models which include the degree of urbanization and occupation type are evaluated. The results are presented in the form of a spatial map and show that gender affects the probability of unemployment in the majority of the analysed countries. Overall, the effect is lower in capital than in non‑capital regions.

W niniejszym artykule zbadano wpływ płci na prawdopodobieństwo bezrobocia i dokonano porównania między 13 krajami europejskimi podczas recesji gospodarczej. Stosując ogólny model logitu dla każdego kraju i stolicy, jak również kontrolując rok oraz cechy indywidualne i regionalne, oszacowano prawdopodobieństwo bezrobocia na podstawie danych dotyczących siły roboczej w latach 2011–2014. Odległość Cooka służy do badania różnic między rynkami pracy regionów stołecznych (lub miast) a regionami niebędącymi stolicami. Korzystając z wielkości odległości Cooka, modele są kalibrowane, a modele uwzględniające stopień urbanizacji i typ zawodu – oceniane. Wyniki przedstawiono w formie mapy przestrzennej – pokazują one, że płeć wpływa na prawdopodobieństwo bezrobocia w większości analizowanych krajów. Ogólnie efekt jest mniejszy w przypadku regionów stołecznych.
