Resumen: This paper investigates whether gender differentials in continuing training exist, in the case of Spain. Although we find no gender gap in the probability of overall training participation, gender discrimination emerges when the employer is financing the training. Evidence indicates that a greater motivation on the part of individuals to enhance their career prospects leads to a positive training gap for women in public-financed and self-financed training, whereas discrimination may account for a negative gap in firm-financed training. Furthermore, men who attend firm-financed training courses report higher average increases in wages, compared to women participating in the same type of training.
