在比利时，尽管年轻妇女的受教育程度普遍较高，但她们在劳动力市场的地位低于男子。通过对从学校到工作过渡的纵向SONAR调查数据的回归和分解分析，我们研究了主体选择和家庭形成过程在多大程度上可以解释26岁劳动力市场职位的性别差异（N = 2060）。我们发现，主体选择和家庭形成都影响劳动力市场的结果，这些因素可以部分解释性别差距。然而，这两个因素在与性别的相互作用上有所不同。虽然科目选择对男子和妇女都有类似的影响，但组建家庭只对妇女的劳动力市场地位有负面影响。
Despite their generally higher educational attainment, young women are characterised by lower labour market positions than men in Belgium. Using regression and decomposition analyses on data from the longitudinal SONAR survey on the transition from school to work, we examine to what extent subject choice and processes of family formation can explain the gender differences on labour market positions at the age of 26 (N = 2060). We find that both subject choice and family formation influence labour market outcomes and that these factors can partially explain the gender gap. Both factors, however, differ in their interaction with gender. While subject choice has a similar effect for both men and women, family formation has a negative impact on the labour market position of women only.
