Growing up in an intact vs. non-intact family and the transition from school to permanent work: A gender approach for Spain in 2000

The duration models that estimate the timing of events reveal that the factors which favor education (i.e., intact family, parents' education, mother more educated than father, mother never worked for pay) produce a higher-performance work path, and vice-versa (i.e., family disruption, number of siblings, caring for grandparents). The comparative gender analysis shows that daughters receive more education, are less likely to obtain a permanent job and, at the same time, they are more sensitive to the family environment and produce a positive externality on both brothers and sisters.
