党员身份、自我认同与女性家庭地位

Communist Party Membership,Self-esteem and Women’s Family Status

本文基于女性赋权的框架探究了女性身份变化与家庭地位的关系。具体而言,利用2010年中国妇女社会地位调查数据(NSWSS),研究女性党员身份对其家庭地位的影响。实证结果表明,当控制了个人、家庭和社区层面因素后,女性党员身份对其家庭地位存在积极影响,基于倾向得分匹配的结果进一步证实了该结论。在影响渠道分析中,本文通过使用因果中介效应发现,与传统的收入溢价效应机制不同,党员身份在更大程度上是通过提升女性自我认同来改善其家庭地位的。

Within the framework of women’s empowerment,this paper explores the relationship between changes in women’s identity and their family status.Specifically,using the National Survey on Women’s Social Status of China in 2010(NSWSS),we study the effect of women’s Communist Party membership(CPM)on their family status.The empirical results reveal that the CPM identity positively affects women’s family status while controlling for individual_,family_and community_level factors.The inference by propensity score matching method corroborates the results.We use the counterfactual outcomes framework to decipher the transmission channels,and find that different from the traditional mechanism of income premium due to women’s CPM identity,self-esteem is more important than income in the effect of women’s CPM identity on their family status.
