关于性别差异，理论表明，在伴侣关系中，工作时间和收入状况较低的个人应该表现出较低的培训参与率。由于女性更有可能符合这种描述，因此我们调查系统性群体差异是否可以解释性别差异。在所有国家，男性工人都不受其收入状况的影响。对于德国（而非意大利或荷兰）的女性工人来说，兼职工作而不是全职工作相当于课程长度减少 5.5 小时。此外，对于德国兼职就业女性来说，单身收入者的培训时间比中等收入者多 5.6 小时。我们的研究结果在广泛和密集方面都成立，表明德国在工作相关培训中的性别差异方面面临着与家庭相关的特殊障碍。
Regarding gender differences, theory suggests that in a partnership the individual with the lower working hours and earnings position should exhibit lower training participation rates. Since women are more likely to match this description, we investigate whether systematic group differences explain gender variation. Across all countries, male workers are not affected by their earnings position. For female workers in Germany, but not Italy or the Netherlands, working part-time instead of full-time corresponds with a decrease in course length by 5.5 hours. Also, regarding German parttime employed women, single earners train 5.6 hours more than secondary earners. The findings of our study hold at the extensive and the intensive margin, suggesting that Germany faces particular household-related obstacles regarding gender differences in job-related training.
