Abstract
In recent years, China’s GDP has continued to grow, yet the labor share has not increased in a consistent manner. This paper employs an empirical analysis based on data from Jilin Province, China. It uses questionnaires and econometric modeling methods to investigate the role of gender in economic life and the role of other factors (such as employment pressure, the role of unions, etc.) in this process. The questionnaire survey examines the current state of gender employment discrimination in China, focusing on the existence, causes, and influencing factors of employment discrimination. In constructing the econometric model, this paper assumes a negative relationship between the proportion of female employees and the labor share, while there is a positive relationship between female education level and the labor income share. The two hypotheses, based on common sense and literature, are then tested by an econometric model. The results indicate that the proportion of female employees is indeed negatively correlated with the share of labor income, suggesting that women face more significant employment challenges.
