Women's Employment and Industrial Restructuring in China: Investigation Using Urban Household Surveys
Overview In the past decade, China's public enterprises underwent dramatic ownership reforms and labor retrenchment. While industrial restructuring is an inevitable feature of market transition, the reforms have affected men and women differently. Studies show that women have endured higher inactive and unemployment rates than men following the restructuring. The deterioration of women's employment status makes the feminization of urban poverty a real possibility. This paper studies the impact of industrial restructuring on the employment status of women in urban China using three nation-wide household surveys.
