abstract: 'Background: This paper aims at explaining the gender wage gap in the
|
|
|
|
labor market from the perspective of leisure participation patterns
|
|
|
|
between men and women. The traditional view is that time and effort
|
|
|
|
spent in childbearing activities are the major sources of gender wage
|
|
|
|
gap. Women, particularly in Chinese society, are the major career of
|
|
|
|
children and share a large portion of housework, thus lacking time for
|
|
|
|
the accumulation of human capital. This directly affects women''s
|
|
|
|
employment status in the labor market as well as wage gaps with men.
|
|
|
|
Methods: This study empirically examines the within-job wage differences
|
|
|
|
between men and women in the same occupation and establishment in
|
|
|
|
relationship to their leisure participation patterns. Data were
|
|
|
|
collected via time diary survey from ``blue-collar{''''} employees of a
|
|
|
|
Chinese factory, producing parts for cars.
|
|
|
|
Results: The results showed that differences of time allocation in
|
|
|
|
social time and passive leisure time between men and women contribute to
|
|
|
|
gender wage gap. The study also uncovered the hidden gender
|
|
|
|
discrimination in a male-dominated society.
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: This study calls for institutional arrangements by the
|
|
|
|
Chinese government to acknowledge women''s need and rights in workplace.'
