摘要

过去几十年来,中国农村家庭规模呈缩小趋势。这主要归因于独生子女政策、低生育率以及快速城市化下的人口迁移。本文认为,婚姻市场中的性别失衡提高了妻子的讨价还价能力,导致她们分家并与公婆分开居住。这一趋势提高了双职工家庭的比例,缩小了中国农村家庭的规模。利用具有全国代表性的调查数据,经验证据表明,性别失衡对已婚妇女与公婆分居的概率有显著的积极影响。这种影响在中国农村比在中国城市更为明显。本文揭示了中国农村家庭规模缩小的驱动力,对未来中国农村的家庭政策(如赡养老人)具有重要意义。

Gender imbalance, wife’s bargain power and shrinking household size in Rural China

Household size in rural China has seen a shrinking trend in the past decades. This has been attributed to the one-child policy, low fertility rates, and population migration under rapid urbanization. This paper suggests that the gender imbalance in the marriage market has improved the bargaining power of wives, which has led them to divide up the family and live apart from their parents-in-law. This trend has improved the share of doubleton families and decreased the size of households in rural China. Employing nationally representative survey data, empirical evidence indicates that the gender imbalance has significant positive effects on the probability of married women living apart from parents-in-law. This effect is stronger in rural China than in urban China. This paper sheds light on the driving forces of shrinking household size in rural China and has important implications for future family policies such as supporting the elderly in rural China.
