abstract: 'This article analyzes a large sample of the 2005 population mini-census
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
data and prefecture-level statistics of China to investigate gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings inequality in the context of economic marketization, paying
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
special attention to the changing role of occupational segregation in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the process. We approximate marketization by employment sectors and also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
construct an index of marketization at the prefecture level. Results
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
show that, despite the tremendous economic growth, marketization has
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exacerbated gender earnings inequality in urban China''s labor markets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gender earnings inequality is the smallest in government/public
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
institutions, followed by public enterprises, and then private
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
enterprises. The gender inequality also increases with the prefecture''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
level of marketization. Multilevel analyses show that occupational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
segregation plays an important role in affecting gender earnings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality: the greater the occupational segregation, the more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disadvantaged women are relative to men in earnings in a prefecture''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor market. Moreover, the impact of occupational segregation on gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings inequality increases with the prefectural level of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
marketization. These findings contribute to understanding the dynamics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of gender earnings inequality and have important implications for policy
