The Impact of Higher Education Expansion Policy on the Wage of College Graduates in China

“…Therefore this study also analyzes the effect of the policy in the Eastern, Central, and Western Regions. In additions, there remains the discrimination against migrants by the rural and urban registration system ("Hukou") (Meng & Zhang, 2001;Maurer-Fazio & Dinh 2004;Wang, 2005;Xie & Yao, 2006;Song & Appleton, 2006;Deng, 2007;Ma 2011Ma , 2018aMa , 2018bMeng & Wu 2014), we also investigate the policy effects by the rural and urban resident groups. Furthermore, because there remains the gender wage gap in China (Gustafsson & Li, 2000;Li & Ma, 2006Ma, 2009Ma, , 2018cMa et al, 2013), to consider the gender differentials of the family responsibility, labor participation behavior and work efforts, this ijef.ccsenet.org…”

Determinants of the Wage Gap between Migrants and Local Urban Residents in China: 2002-2013

“…In China, along with the transitional economy, the Chinese urban market is segregated into migrant and local urban resident groups; and there exists discrimination against migrants in employment and wages (Meng and Zhang, 2001 [1]; Wang, 2003Wang, , 2005 [3]; Zhang, 2003 [4]; Song and Appleton, 2006 [5]; Ma, 2011 [6]; Ma and Li, 2016 [7]).…”

“…In previous studies on the wage gap between migrants and local urban residents, Wang (2003) [2], Xie and Yao (2006) [8], Deng (2007) [9], Xing and Luo (2009) [10], Ma (2011) [6] utilized the Oaxaca-Blinder model (Oaxaca, 1973 [11]; Blinder, 1973 [12]), the FFL model (Firpo, Fortin, and Lemieux, 2009 [13]) or the DFL (Dinardo, Fortin and Lemieux, 1996 [14]) model to undertake the decomposition analysis and found that both the discrimination and human capital differentials affect the wage gap; however, the influences of the discrimi-nation on the wage gap differ among these empirical study results. Meng (1998) [15], Meng and Zhang (2001) [1], Ma and Li (2016) [7] analyzed occupational segregation and the wage gap between migrants and local urban residents and found that occupational discrimination is the main factor underlying the wage gap.…”
