To account for the potential endogeneity of parental divorce we employ double and triple di¤erences models that rely on observing teenagers from intact and divorced backgrounds before and after the divorce occurs. We …nd that parental divorce does not negatively a¤ect teenagers' cognitive skills. Our results also suggest that cross-section estimates overstate the detrimental e¤ect of parental divorce. We thank the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics for access to the public use NELS data and Jennifer Thompson for kindly answering our questions about the data …les. Seminar participants at the EUI, UNICEF and CSEF gave very helpful comments on earlier drafts.

Youth unemployment as well as both temporary and long-term unemployment remain significant problems. Issues also exist with respect to immigrant workers and wage inequality, particularly for lower-wage workers. On the positive side, the labor force participation gender gap has shrunk considerably. Policymakers could combat the long-term unemployment challenge by putting more efforts into the design, implementation, and evaluation of well-targeted active labor market policies. Unemployment rate and real monthly wages ELEVATOR PITCH Spain, the fourth largest eurozone economy, was hit particularly hard by the Great Recession, which made its chronic labor market problems more evident. Youth and long-term unemployment escalated during the crisis and, despite the ongoing recovery, in 2016 were still at unsustainably high levels. The aggregate rate of temporary employment declined during the recession, but grew among youth. Most interesting have been the narrowing of the gender gap in labor force participation, the decline in the share of immigrants in employment and the labor force, and the overall increase in wage inequality.

The overall unemployment elasticity in the euro area is À 0.14. The elasticity varies across groups of workers and along the wage distribution. D
