During the last decades, female participation in the labor market has increased. The decision of women to join the labor market depends, both on social factors such as age, education, marital status, or family conciliation; as well as economic factors such as the real wage. However, this increase in female participation fails to reduce the gender gap. This research, using spatial analysis techniques, tries to identify the explanatory factors of the employment gap in the local labor markets of the Region of Murcia (Spain). The main results are that the differences in the gap are explained by variables such as average age, demographic pressure, and educational level.
