城镇居民劳动参与的工资弹性分析——基于人口特征的视角

Analysis on the Labor Participation Wage Elasticity of Urban Residents —— Based on Demographic Characteristics

本文采用2007年C HIP数据,从婚姻、年龄和教育三个人口特征视角分析了城镇居民劳动参与工资弹性的变动趋势。结果表明:未婚男性劳动参与工资弹性最大,随后依次是已婚女性、未婚女性和已婚男性;女性和男性劳动参与的工资弹性随教育程度的提升呈现下降趋势,并且在相同的教育程度下,女性劳动参与的工资弹性要大于男性;女性和男性劳动参与的工资弹性在30岁之前随年龄增长呈现下降趋势,30-40岁期间趋于稳定,40岁之后再次出现上升,25岁之前男性劳动参与工资弹性大于女性,25岁之后则一直小于女性。本文的现实含义在于促进就业公共政策的制定时,应充分考虑劳动参与工资弹性在不同人口特征群体中的差异。

This paper explored the variation of labor participation wage elasticity with marital status, age and education based on 2007 CHIP data. The results show: labor participation wage elasticity decreases from the nonmarried male group, married female group, non-married female group to married male group; No matter male or female, the wage elasticity decreases as the educational level descends and female labor participation wage elasticity is bigger than that of male at the same education. The wage elasticity descends before 30 years old and keeps stable between 30 and 40 and then increases after 40 years old, male labor participation wage elasticity is bigger than that of female before 25 and smaller after 25. Therefore, the government should take the difference of different demographic characteristic groups into consideration when designing and implementing public policies aimed for promoting employment.
