This paper analyzes the work histories of young workers, focusing on gender di..erences in work interruptions and job changes. I use the European Community Household Panel (Spanish section, 1994- 2001) to build a measure that considers heterogeneity in the accumulation of experience and to compare men�s and women�s mobility patterns. Returns to cumulated experience are greater than returns to potential experience, especially for women.
Turnover rates are similar, but for males it is important to hold a position with responsability, to have a family or to live in economic poles whereas for females, to work part-time or the firm size.
Keywords: Gender wage gap, interruptions, job mobility.
