巾帼不让须眉?——生育行为影响主观幸福感的双重性别差异

Are Daughters No Inferior to Sons? The Double Gender Differences in Fertility Behavior Which Can Affect Happiness

生育行为能够影响父母的主观幸福感,然而生育效应在作用方式和作用程度方面是否存在双重性别差异还未有研究。本文基于CGSS2013数据,运用Ologit、Oprobit和IV-Oprobit模型首次系统分析生育效应的双重性别差异,并就主要结论进行了讨论。研究发现:(1)生育女儿更有助于提高父亲的主观幸福感。(2)生育儿子更有助于提高母亲的主观幸福感。(3)母亲与父亲相比、已婚人群与未婚人群相比,其主观幸福感更易受到生育行为的影响。(4)在生育效应的作用程度方面,生育女儿至少和生育儿子一样能够提升父亲和母亲的主观幸福感水平,且生育效应在村或居委会层面不存在地区差异。
