摘要

中国延长产假以鼓励生育。本研究利用中国家庭面板研究(China Family Panel Studies)的数据,采用差分分析法,具体研究了中国产假改革(MLR)对女性劳动力供给的影响。我们的研究结果表明,产假改革显著减少了女性的工作时间,平均每周减少 2.6 小时。然而,在男性劳动力供给方面却没有观察到相应的影响。机制分析表明,这些影响可能源于女性在劳动力市场中处于更加不利的地位、生育意愿增强以及家庭责任加重。这些发现对今后制定和实施促进生育和性别平等政策具有重要意义。

Maternity leave reform and women's labor supply: Evidence from China

China has extended maternity leave to encourage childbirth. This study specifically investigates the effects of China's maternity leave reform (MLR) on women's labor supply, utilizing a difference-in-difference analysis with data from the China Family Panel Studies. Our findings show that MLR leads to a notable decrease in women's working hours, with an average reduction of 2.6 h per week. However, no corresponding impacts are observed in men's labor supply. Mechanism analysis suggests that these effects may stem from women facing more disadvantaged positions in the labor market, having increased intentions for fertility, and experiencing heightened household responsibilities. These findings hold significant implications for the future design and implementation of childbirth promotion and gender equality policies.
