题  目:What Happens When Employers Can No Longer Discriminate in Job Ads? Evidence from a Chinese Job Board

主讲人: 沈凯玲 澳大利亚国立大学副教授

摘  要:

We study what happened when employers' explicit gender requests were unexpectedly removed overnight from a Chinese job board, on March 1, 2019. We show that the ban raised the share of women in the pool of successful applicants to jobs that previously requested men (M jobs) by 63 percent, and raised men's share in F jobs by 146 percent. The main mechanism for these effects was through application behaviour - conditional on applying, workers' chances of success in gender-mismatched jobs did not change much after the ban. We do not detect any negative, unintended consequences of the ban for either firms or workers.

2019年3月1日,中国某招聘网站一夜之间突然删除了在招聘信息中雇主明确提出的性别要求,我们对该禁令所产生的后果进行了研究。我们发现,对于原来明确要求男性的工作(M岗位),女性求职者占最后成功求职者的比例上升了63%;而对于原来明确要求女性的工作(F岗位),男性求职者占最后成功求职者的比例上升了146%。我们把造成这个结果的主要原因归咎于求职人员的求职行为。在(对职位)提出申请的情况下,求职人员申请成功的概率在禁令前后并没有发生很明显的变化。无论是对公司还是对工人,我们没有发现该禁令造成任何负面的或意想不到的后果。
