劳动力市场分割、户口与城乡就业差异

Labor Market Segmentation, Hukou and Urban-Rural Difference in Employment

文章利用2006年CHNS数据,根据切换回归模型的结果检验中国劳动力市场是否存在分割,并分析了分割状态下户口对城乡劳动者就业的影响。研究表明,目前中国的劳动力市场依然存在二元分割;户口是限制农村劳动者进入主要劳动力市场的重要因素之一;拥有城镇户口的劳动者不仅几乎垄断了主要劳动力市场上的就业,而且在次要劳动力市场中也处于有利地位。

Using the CHNS data and switching regression model, the paper tests whether Chinese labor market is segmented, and analyzes how hukou system influences urban-rural difference in employment. The results indicate that dual labor market exits in China at present, and hukou is one of the most important factors that prevent rural workers from being employed in primary labor market. In addition, urban hukou holders have big advantage over rural hukou holders not only in primary labor market but also in secondary labor market, and the differences in employment between the two groups of labor force are obvious.
