Changes Of Labor Supply In China's Urban Labor Markets

In order to study the past 20 years of urban residents residents in the labor supply problem, this paper describes the labor supply theory, and then estimate the 20 years of urban residents in the labor supply changes, analyze the cause of labor supply change factors, and quantitative study of labor supply .The response to changes in each factor. In this paper, the concept of elasticity to represent the magnitude of this response. This paper studies two dimensions of labor supply, including the breadth of the labor involved in the research level - labor force participation and labor supply behavior of the depth level - working hours. Residents of the labor force participationreflects the work and is currently carrying out work to maintain the necessary expensesof the family economy, while the working hours of labor reflects the personal choice of urban residents, namely the time in personal disposable broadly defined under the premise of how to allocate their own The proportion of work and leisure, both of whichcan reflect the current labor force participation of urban residents in the status quo. Forthe supply of labor to the labor force participation for those trying to promote the policy of quantitative analysis of the effects. In this paper, labor force participation and working time flexibility and wage flexibility to reflect the income elasticity of labor force participation and hours worked by wage and the quantitative impact of non-labor income. This study aimed to compare the 1988 to 2009, a 20-year changes in labor supply, summed up the labor supply elasticity of labor supply and changes in trends. With the numerical characteristics of the labor force participation, this paper, a binary choice model of labor force participation, through the Heckman two-step method to calculate the elasticity of labor force participation of urban residents in the change; in research the application of working time working time continuum model, the same applied Heckman two-step method of urban residents in China flexible working hours.This section of concrete as follows:Chapter I is a literature review of this article, this chapter first reviews the development of the theory of labor supply and labor supply some of the more classical theory ofspecific content. Then this paper, the experience of labor supply research methods, and in accordance with the labor force participation and working hours of experience in research are reviewed. In this chapter, this paper also discusses the domestic scholars in recent years,research interest and future research directions are discussed.Chapter 2 first introduces this study used data, and on the use to the variable how to select,, and options into the causes and key variables of the data processing done in detail, comparing the 20 years of urban residents in the labor force participation Rate changes. In theory, first introduced the Heckman two-step model of the steps, and thendata were used for detailed data statistics. After the application data and models of urban residents in China's labor force participation wage elasticity and income elasticitywas estimated regression results are given. Finally, in 1988 described the changes to the 2009 trend of flexibilityand give an explanation, and flexibility for men and women were compared. The results showed that the wages of women in the labor force participation elasticity is greater than men. Wage elasticity of labor force participation of men is relatively small. Labor force participation of men and women are relatively small income elasticity, while the female is slightly larger than males. Chapter III describes the application of Chapter II of the Heckman two-step regression on the working hours of urban residents in China were analyzed, the working time is one aspect of Labor supply characteristics, which embodies the depth of the labor supply. First introduced the variable selection, Chapter 3 of the data used 1995-2009 model applied to estimate the working hours of continuous working time and income elasticity of wage flexibility, and also on the 1995 to 2009 in which the flexibility of the four yearswere compared analysis, and ultimately gives the explanation. Finally, the conclusions of the full text of this paper, for a general overview of the past 30 years of changes intrends in labor supply, and why, finally, the article discusses the shortcomings and limitations.
