Why do women have longer durations of unemployment than men in post-restructuring urban China?
基于全国代表性家庭调查数据，系统分析了中国城市经济重组后女性失业期更长的原因，发现女性在社交网络、再就业服务、收入损失和退休政策上受到不公平对待。
This paper provides the first systematic analysis of the reasons why women endure longer unemployment durations than men in post-restructuring urban China. This analysis is based upon data obtained from a national representative household survey. Rejecting the view that women are less earnest than men in their desire for re-employment, this analysis shows that women's job search efforts are handicapped by a lack of access to social networks, unequal entitlement to social re-employment services, higher earnings losses from job separations for women, and unfair treatment of women with respect to mandatory retirement.
