講座內(nèi)容：
We conduct a nationwide correspondence experiment to assess the effect of the Double Reduction Policy on employment discrimination towards women in China. Using 23,078 observations collected through the experiment, we confirm that the implementation of the Double Reduction Policy led to an overall 6.1% decrease in total interview callbacks of women with children. This finding survives a battery of robustness checks. We also find that this effect is more pronounced for mothers who have two children, who apply for positions in foreign companies, and who are in small cities. To explore the mechanism behind the decrease, we further investigate the attitude of HR and employers towards women's role and responsibility in a family before and after the policy via a survey. Surprisingly, we find that HR and employers hold more unfavorable opinions after the policy such as women should take more family responsibilities and women are less efficient than men in the workplace. The policy also significantly decreased the activity of private tutoring institutions, leaving mothers shoulder heavier family responsibilities and thus have less time for their work. Our findings point to the necessity of considering the side effect of the Double Reduction Policy in the labor market.
中文摘要：我們進(jìn)行一項(xiàng)全國(guó)范圍的通訊實(shí)驗(yàn)以評(píng)估雙減政策對(duì)中國(guó)女性就業(yè)的影響。使用通訊實(shí)驗(yàn)收集的23,078個(gè)觀察樣本，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)雙減政策導(dǎo)致女性總體面試邀請(qǐng)下降 5.9%。這一結(jié)果通過了一系列穩(wěn)健性檢驗(yàn)。為了探索這一變化背后的機(jī)制，我們進(jìn)一步考察人力資源部門和雇主在政策實(shí)施前后關(guān)于女性家庭角色和責(zé)任的態(tài)度變化。我們發(fā)現(xiàn)人力資源部門和雇主對(duì)女性的觀點(diǎn)沒有以前友好。我們的研究結(jié)果說明考慮雙減政策在勞動(dòng)力市場(chǎng)的非預(yù)期效應(yīng)很有必要。
