This paper tests whether, and to what extent, spatial factors increase gender discrimination in access to the labor market. To so, we employ a probit model controlling for individual characteristics and a number of social variables. Results show that the lack of adequate public transport reduces the chances for women to secure a job, contributing to their exclusion from the labor market.

To so, we employ a probit model controlling for individual characteristics and a number of social variables. Results show that the lack of adequate public transport reduces the chances for women to secure a job, contributing to their exclusion from the labor market.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
