abstract: 'Using a series of survey and census/mini-census data, this paper
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
explores the trends of women''s labor force participation (WLFP) and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
estimates the key factors affecting women''s labor supply in urban China
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between 1990 and 2010. Our results show that WLFP in urban China had
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
changed dramatically from 1990 to 2010. The rates of WLFP had dropped
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
drastically during the 1990s and early 2000s. In 2003, WLFP showed a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
steady trend of increase. Since 2003, WLFP had become more and more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
responsive to incomes from other family members. Specifically, women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from poorer families have been more likely to join the labor force over
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
time. We argue that Chinese women''s labor supply had been driven by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
different social or economic forces in different historical stages. From
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1990 to 2003, the sharp decline of WLFP may have been caused by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
institutional transformation (market transition) starting from early
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1980s and the radical layoff policy of publicly-owned enterprises (POEs)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the late 1990s. The steady increase of WLFP since 2003 may have been
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
driven by the surge of living costs (e.g., housing, education, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
healthcare) in urban China.'
