Determinants of women's labor force participation and occupational sex segregation in contemporary China. - 178 p.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Maryland College Park, 1994.

This dissertation investigates the determinants of women's labor force participation and occupational sex segregation in contemporary China at both the macro and micro levels. Multi-level models are used to examine the effects of three categories of factors: (1) labor-demand factors, including provincial level of development, weight of light industry in the economic structure, urbanization of residence, and the sex ratio of working age population; (2) labor-supply factors, including individual women's age, education, and family status; and (3) cultural context, namely, the degree of patriarchal tradition. Individual data are from China's 1987 One Percent Population Sample Survey, and provincial data from aggregations of the survey data and from China's official statistics.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation investigates the determinants of women's labor force participation and occupational sex segregation in contemporary China at both the macro and micro levels. Multi-level models are used to examine the effects of three categories of factors: (1) labor-demand factors, including provincial level of development, weight of light industry in the economic structure, urbanization of residence, and the sex ratio of working age population; (2) labor-supply factors, including individual women's age, education, and family status; and (3) cultural context, namely, the degree of patriarchal tradition. Individual data are from China's 1987 One Percent Population Sample Survey, and provincial data from aggregations of the survey data and from China's official statistics.
520 $a With respect to women's labor force participation, this dissertation confirms the hypothesized U-shaped relationship with economic development. The findings also show a generally positive effect of education. More interestingly, the effect of development varies among women with different levels of education, and the effect of education increases with development.
520 $a With respect to occupational sex segregation, this dissertation finds that the index of dissimilarity for detailed non-agricultural occupations in China is low relative to its economic development. However, this index increased substantially during China's recent rapid economic growth. The increase is primarily due to changes in intra-occupational gender compositions. Using multi-level models, it is found that, among the labor-demand factors, economic development and urbanization are positively associated with women's opportunity of holding male-type occupations, whereas the importance of light industry tends to negatively affect that opportunity. On the labor-supply side, age, representing experience and seniority is found to have a positive effect for women in white-collar occupations, but no effect among blue-collar workers. Education is only found to improve women's chance of holding male-type occupations among white-collar workers in urban areas. The family status variables do not show any significant effect except for rural female blue-collar workers. Finally, the patriarchal tradition as a cultural context is found to prevent women from joining male-type occupations among urban blue-collar workers.
