子女数量对中国劳动力市场性别工资差异的影响——基于CGSS跨期数据的分析

The Impact of the Number of Children on the Gender Wage Gap in China's Labor Market——Intertemporal Data Analysis Based on CGSS

  • 摘要: 在中国不断调整生育政策的背景下,利用CGSS跨期数据,全方位探讨子女数量对中国劳动力市场性别工资差异的影响,发现:总体上子女数量的增加将导致女性工资收入下降7.4%,但对男性的工资收入影响不显著。从时间跨度看,子女数量对男性工资收入产生的影响不显著,但导致女性工资收入下降了6.5%—25.1%,这种差异化的影响无疑将导致性别工资收入差异的增大。从区域看,子女数量对男性工资收入的影响在三个地区均不显著,却显著降低了东部和中部地区女性的工资收入,这体现了市场化程度对性别工资差异的不同影响。分位数回归结果表明,在各分位点数上子女数量对女性工资收入的削减作用要显著高于男性,子女数量的增加对低收入女性的收入冲击要高于高收入女性。歧视仍然是导致性别工资差异的主因,给育龄女性以支持,消除市场上的性别歧视,是缩小性别工资差异,同时提高生育率的关键所在。

     

    Abstract: In the context of the continuous adjustment of China's birth policy, this paper uses CGSS inter-temporal data to comprehensively explore the impact of the number of children on the gender wage gap in China's labor market. The results show that: overall, the increase in the number of children will lead to women's wages fell by 7.4%, but the effect on men's wages was not significant. From the perspective of time span, the number of children has no significant effect on men's gender wage income. Even in some years, the number of children has no significant positive effect on men's wage income, but leads to the decrease of women's wage income by 6.5% to 25.1%.This differentiated effect will undoubtedly lead to the increase of gender wage income difference; from the perspective of region, the influence of the number of children on the gender wage of men is not significant in the three regions, but the number of children significantly reduces the wage income of women in the eastern and central regions, which reflects the different influence of the degree of marketization on the gender wage difference. Quantile regression results show that at each quantile point, the number of children has a significantly higher reduction effect on women's income than that of men, and the increase in the number of children has a higher impact on the income of low-income women than that of high-income women. Discrimination is still the main cause of the gender wage gap. To support women of childbearing age and eliminate gender discrimination in the market is the key to narrow the gender wage gap and increase the fertility rate.
