We use a balanced panel of firms based on the Ukrainian Labour Flexibility Study data to explore the fate of female workers in Ukrainian industry over the period 1994 to 2002. Our analysis shows that in overall terms and despite substantial changes in industry, the position of women in the industrial sector in Ukraine has not changed dramatically. Nevertheless, to a small degree the relative position of women in industry has declined: the employment share of women in industry has somewhat gone down, the gender wage gap has slightly increased and more and more firms show a preference for hiring and training men.

Abstract
We use a balanced panel of firms based on the Ukrainian Labour Flexibility Study data to explore the fate of female workers in Ukrainian industry over the period 1994 to 2002. Our analysis shows that in overall terms and despite substantial changes in industry, the position of women in the industrial sector in Ukraine has not changed dramatically. Nevertheless, to a small degree the relative position of women in industry has declined: the employment share of women in industry has somewhat gone down, the gender wage gap has slightly increased and more and more firms show a preference for hiring and training men.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
