中国性别工资差距实证研究综述

Empirical Evidence on Gender Wage Gaps in China

本文对近年来关于中国性别工资差距的实证研究作了系统综述。对每一项研究,本文都从内容、方法、使用的数据、结论等方面进行了分析,发现该领域的研究有两个发展趋势:第一,由研究男女在平均工资上的差距发展到研究他们在整个工资分布上的差距;第二,由单纯研究男女在工资方面的差距发展到研究性别工资差距与性别职业(或行业)隔离、性别劳动参与率差别等的相互关系。

This paper provides a general overview of the latest studies of gender wage gaps in China. It analyzes each study based on its subject, method, data and its findings. Two trends are found in the studies of gender wage gaps in China. Firstly, there is a shift of focus from analysis of differences in mean level wages to that of differences in wages distributed across levels. Secondly, existing research on gender wage gaps has been increasingly integrated with that on gender occupational segregation and gender differences in labor participation.
