题   目：Marriage, Childrearing, and the Gender Wage Differentials within the Firm — Evidence from China

摘   要：

While gender wage differentials receive great attention, not much is known about its evolution within a firm because of the lack of data. Using a unique personnel data from a large Chinese company, we document the dynamics of the gender wage differentials over the career and explore possible explanations. We find the gender wage differentials are widening throughout the career. There is no obvious wage gap between male and female employees when their careers start. The wage gap emerges when the employees get married, with women's wage starting to fall behind. There is a temporary peak during women's childbirth but the wage gap quickly restores to pre-pregnant level ten months after childbirth. The gender wage gap again gradually expands afterward. We argue household division of labor is the main driving force of this pattern. After marriage and childbirth, men are increasingly focusing on works while women are increasingly focusing on children and household affairs. As a consequence, women are promoted at a slower rate. Women also tend to work in departments that are low-paid and less competitive, but easier to ask for leave. In terms of productivity, we find no evidence that women's productivity within the department becomes lower after childbirth.
