A Study On The Influence Of Gender Preference On China 's Human Capital Stock

Human capital is an important driver of economic growth,as input factors of economic production,and directly participate in economic production process.In the production process,the increasing of human capital stock,reflect the improvement of labor quality,which improve the labor productivity,increasing each sector output and GDP,which is the direct effect of human capital stock.Increasing investment in human capital,improving human capital stock can improve the quality of the population, change the economic growth mode from the extensive to the intensive,and provide "Fountainhead" for steady and healthy development of China’s economy.In another way,China is a populous country and has the prominent male gender preference.Investment in male human capital is much higher than the female.In previous studies on the relationship between gender preference and human capital,the centralized analysis of differences of human capital investment caused by gender preference.The male investment of human capital more than the female. Actually,gender preference not only causes human capital investment,but also affects the human capital stock.In this paper,by interdisciplinary research method,literature research method,comparative research method and the combine research method of qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis method,we analysis a variety of complex issues that exist on gender preference and human capital investment.therefore, analyzing the impact that gender preference has on human capital has important theoretical and practical significance.Gender preference affects human capital investment by the main categories.The first subject is the bearer of human capital itself;the second investments is family, business or government organizations and institutions and so on.Gender preference affects the different in human capital investment.Intuitively,the male or female human capital investment has some differences,but the total amount of investment in human capital in a given period of years is unchanged,then the human capital stock is unchanged. However,this analysis assumes that the human capital does not enter production,and human capital itself does not change.In fact,when human capital investment does enter production and have dynamic changes,Gender preference would affect the stock of human capital.Taking into account the dynamic changes of human capital,this paper builds models from the micro level and macro level and reveals its inner mechanism.From the results of the theoretical analysis,the existence of gender preference reduces human capital stock;just only when there is no gender preference,and sex differences in human capital investment disappears human capital stock will maximize.In empirical analysis of gender preferences affecting human capital,my paper use time-series data from 1978 to 2012, the VAR model.At the same time,I use the OLS regression analyzing the impact that the gender differences of human capital investment put on the human capital stock.The conclusion is that the existence of gender preference restrains the increase of human capital stock.We can theoretically and empirically show gender preference is not conducive to an increase in human capital stock.For the realization of human capital maximization, employing the direct effects of human capital stock,this paper puts forward some ideas and recommendations to solve the issue of gender preference.First of all,we should change the way of thought in the cultural and psychological concepts,advocate the modern civilization wind,and promote gender equality;secondly,in terms of employment,wages,welfare,social security and retirement system and a series of social and economic laws and regulations,we should fully implement the basic principle of equal pay and gender equality and completely remove all sorts of inappropriate regulations and other stereotypes that have discrimination against female.again,we should take strengthening labor law seriousness and integrity of social security as a breakthrough,and protect women basic rights and interests of employment’s income and benefits; finally,in view of the special advantages of women,we should explore ways of female employment,and improve women organizations and other NGO organizations.
