互联网使用对农民工性别工资收入差距的影响

The Influence of Internet Use on the Gender Wage Income Gap of Migrant Workers

改革开放以来,农民工的性别工资收入差距呈现扩大趋势,而互联网的发展与使用为缩小农民工的性别工资收入差距带来新的可能。利用中国劳动力动态调查(CLDS)2014年和2016年数据定量研究互联网使用对农民工性别工资收入差距的影响。研究发现:互联网使用对农民工的工资收入有显著的溢价效应。互联网使用可以缩小农民工的性别工资收入差距;互联网使用频率增加可以缩小中收入层农民工的性别工资收入差距。本文认为应大力对农民工互联网使用技能进行精准化培训,尤其要提高女性农民工互联网的使用水平,如此可缩小农民工的性别工资收入差距。

Since the reform and opening up,the gender wage income gap of migrant workers has shown a trend of widening,and the development and use of the Internet has brought new possibilities to narrow the gender wage income gap of migrant workers.In this paper,the impact of Internet use on the gender wage income gap of migrant workers was quantitatively studied by using the data of China Labor Force Dynamics Survey(CLDS)in 2014 and 2016.The findings are shown as follows:1)Internet use has a significant premium effect on the wage income of migrant workers.2)The use of the Internet can narrow the gender wage income gap of migrant workers;increased Internet use can narrow the gender wage gap among middle-wage migrant workers.This paper believes that it is necessary to carry out precise training on migrant workers’Internet use skills,especially to improve the level of female migrant workers’Internet use,which can narrow the gender wage gap among migrant workers.
