题目:Labor Market Discrimination against Family Responsibilities: A Correspondence Study with Policy Change in China

摘要:

China’s controversial one-child policy (1979-2015) was shifted to two-child policy in 2016. We take advantage of this unexpected policy change and the heterogeneities in the pre-reform environment to investigate labor market discrimination against expected family responsibilities. In a two-wave correspondence study before and after the reform, 8,848 fictitious resumes of age 22 to 29 were sent to online job advertisements. Their gender and only-/sibling-child status was systematically varied. We find that women, but not men, are subject to labor market discrimination for expected family responsibilities. This discrimination worsens as the probability of maternity increases when women approach their late 20s.
