In the past two decades, China's Open Door Policy invited foreign investments and consequently spurred the growth of private economy. In an increasing competitive market economy, state enterprises were forced to reform and restructure. Combined with massive rural-urban migration, the labor force in urban China became mobile. The wage structure was different from that in the pre-reform system. Evidence shows that urban labor markets have emerged in China, although institutional barriers exist.

520 $a In the past two decades, China's Open Door Policy invited foreign investments and consequently spurred the growth of private economy. In an increasing competitive market economy, state enterprises were forced to reform and restructure. Combined with massive rural-urban migration, the labor force in urban China became mobile. The wage structure was different from that in the pre-reform system. Evidence shows that urban labor markets have emerged in China, although institutional barriers exist.
520 $a This dissertation focuses on investigating the determinants of urban workers' wages in the reform era, and disentangles the influence of economic reforms on workers' wage determination. In pre-reform China, the wage system was designed with significant differentials between different wage ranks. However, the wage distribution in pre-reform China was egalitarian since most workers were assigned at the lowest wage ranks and received similar wages.
520 $a I adopt the 1992 Chinese Lobar Market Survey to examine determinants of wages after reforms. Seniority is one of the most important determinants. The significance of regional disparity reflects the impact of the Open Door Policy. Since there was no bonus prior to reform, the decomposition of total wage allows us to examine how economic reforms affect the wage determination of urban workers. The results show that region, sex and firm characteristics are essential factors in China's emerging labor markets.
520 $a Men and women have different wage functions. Women's returns to education are higher than men's, while men are dominant in seniority. The analysis of Oaxaca's decomposition shows that women might be disadvantaged in the emerging labor market when the ideology of gender-equality is no longer emphasized.
520 $a Migrants are a self-selected group. By adding a migrant-specific variable, the empirical result demonstrates that various migrant cohorts and urban natives do have different earnings profiles. New migrants are expected to have higher income in the future compared to old migrants and urban natives.
