  abstract = {Gender inequality can differ by education attainment of the unemployed. Discrepancy between education attainment of the unemployed changed too. Nowadays, the ratio between primary and tertiary education in unemployment is higher than ever before in Spain and the European Union. Inequality among unemployed people in Switzerland couldn’t be proven. Gender inequality in unemployment by education attainment and convergence of education attainment of the unemployed in the European Union, Spain and Switzerland was examined in this paper. Analysis has been carried out using unit-root test which allows for one structural break. With this method, we have examined the validity of hysteresis in unemployment gender inequality by education attainment and discrepancy between education attainment of the unemployed, analysed persistence of inequality and influence of the random shocks on them. Discrepancies between education attainment of the unemployed were compared by genders with Paired samples t-test. Women are still at a disadvantage compared to men, random economic shocks have low or non-existent impact on the gender gap and education attainment discrepancies in analysed countries and the European Union, and their impact has been just temporary. Education attainment discrepancy increased among the unemployed in Spain and the European Union, this could be the consequence of companies changed preference of employee education. They preferred employees with higher education attainment before those with lower education attainment.},
