Raw and pre-market HC-adjusted gender unemployment gaps. Note: Raw gaps are 5-year averages of gender unemployment gaps among prime age individuals over 2003–2007, constructed using sampling weights. The corresponding hypothetical gender unemployment gaps under pre-market human capital equality are constructed based on a flexible version of the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition using age and education groups as individual characteristics. The pre-market human capital-adjusted unemployment gaps are 5-year averages of the constructed hypothetical gaps, using sampling weights, over 2003–2007. Countries are ordered by the raw (unadjusted) gaps. Gaps are in p.p
