abstract: 'Researchers have attributed the low wages of Chinese female migrant

  workers to the independent effects of gender and hukou (household

  registration). Using an intersectional perspective that recognizes the

  interplay of gender, birthplace, and hukou, this paper identifies six

  different groups of workers in China''s urban labor market. Both in-depth

  interviews and survey data demonstrate that from 2003 to 2013, a decade

  seen as one of China''s continuous economic growth and rising income

  inequality, female migrant workers earned the lowest wages among the six

  groups, and their income disadvantages were more than double the

  disadvantages of gender and hukou combined. This trend was persistent

  during this decade even after the workers'' education, party membership,

  and labor market segregation were taken into account. These results

  imply a within-job wage differential for female migrant workers and a

  discriminatory wage policy that is tacitly observed by both state and

  private employers.'
