Title: Male–female wage determination and gender wage discrimination in China's rural industrial sector
Abstract: This paper examines male–female wage determination and gender wage discrimination in the newly developed rural industrial sector in China. It is found that female wages in this sector can be explained by the human capital model and that gender wage discrimination is much more serious in China's rural industrial sector than in other industrial and developing economies. This situation, however, has changed as the labour market has been liberalized: wage discrimination is found to account for all of the gender wage differential for the non-market group, while it accounts for only two-thirds of the gender wage differential for the market group.
