Abstract

The present paper examines the impact of market reforms on gender earnings gaps in China’s rural economy using two cross‐sections of data for 1988 and 1995. The results show that the raw gender wage gap was sizeable and predominated by the unexplained part. However, no evidence was found to suggest that the reform policies and market competition led to any measurable increase or decrease in wage discrimination during the period of investigation.
