本研究的目的是测量劳动力市场中的性别差距，并探讨消除性别差距的对策。我们进行了一个实验，在竞争偏好的性别差异，在工作场所的性别平等的问卷调查，和一个问卷调查的工人的工作-家庭平衡。我们发现，实施工作与家庭平衡措施的公司有较低的女性离职率，实施平权行动的公司有更多的女性经理，男性更喜欢竞争。

The aim of this research is to measure gender gap in the labor markets and discuss countermeasure against the gender gap. We conducted an experiment with the gender difference in preference for competition, a questionnaire about gender equality in the workplaces, and a questionnaire about work-family balance of workers. We found that firms that implement work-family balance measures have lower rate of female turnover, firms that implement affirmative action have more female managers, and men prefer competition compared with women.
