Comparative Study on Gender Income Gap of Residents and Its Causes in Urban and Rural Areas
Abstract
In order to explore the gender income gap between urban and rural residents and its causes, the data of China General Social Survey in 2013 and 2018 were used to analyze and decompose the degree of gender discrimination at each income quintile of urban and rural residents by unconditional quantile regression based on the regression of decentralization impact function (RIF). The results show that gender discrimination is the main cause of the gender income gap between urban and rural residents, and the same variable has a great difference on the gender income gap in different fractions. In different groups, there are two opposite effects on gender discrimination: reduction and increase. Education helps to narrow the gender income gap of urban residents, but increases the gender discrimination of rural residents.
