Abstract

Based on China's long-term implementation of gender equality, the rapid development of the digital economy has provided new opportunities for improving female autonomy and releasing the “gender dividend”. This study explores the impact of the digital economy on female autonomy, using digital economy index we constructed and the 2014-2020 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) data. We find that the development of the digital economy can significantly improve female autonomy, both economically and spiritually. Meanwhile, the digital economy can also alleviate the “marriage penalty” and “motherhood penalty”. Furthermore, we find that digital economy's career guarantee effect and capital consolidation effect are important mechanisms, which can promote women's participation in employment, as well as enable them to have higher human capital and social capital.

数字经济是否提高了女性的自主性?
基于中国性别平等的长期实施,数字经济的快速发展为提高女性自主性、释放 "性别红利 "提供了新机遇。本研究利用我们构建的数字经济指数和 2014-2020 年中国家庭面板研究(CFPS)数据,探讨数字经济对女性自主性的影响。我们发现,数字经济的发展能显著提高女性的经济和精神自主性。同时,数字经济还能缓解 "婚姻惩罚 "和 "母亲惩罚"。此外,我们还发现数字经济的职业保障效应和资本整合效应是重要的机制,可以促进女性参与就业,并使她们拥有更高的人力资本和社会资本。
