Using a structural model where the decision to search is endogenous, we analyze how various parameters such as the mean wage offer, the search costs, the offer probability and the value of non-market time can explain the gender wage gap. The model, which is implemented on a sample of young Canadian women who suffered a permanent job displacement, can be used to evaluate how much of the gender wage gap can be explained by the presence of young children.
