Since the China higher education expansion policy,the number of enrolled students in China's higher education has nearly seven times expanded.The university's enrollment expansion policy has significantly increased the chances of the young people's mouth queueing for higher education,delaying the time for some young people to enter the labor market and ease employment pressure.However,some scholars have said that the expansion of college enrollment will lead to a decline in the labor participation rate,an increase in the unemployment rate,and an increase in hourly wages.In the face of the female labor force under the dual pressure of society and family,what is the impact of enrollment expansion on employment?Based on the 2000-2015 census data,the second and third phases of Chinese women's social status survey statistics,using the double differential(DID)strategy,the short-term,medium-term and long-term effects of college enrollment on the employment rate of Chinese women were empirically demonstrated.Analysis,research shows that it has not been found that the expansion of higher education is right on the expense of increasing unemployment.On the contrary,the college enrollment expansion policy is generally beneficial to the employment rate of the labor market.The most profitable group is the urban population in the labor market,and the rural women's income is relatively.low.The main contents of this article are as follows:In the first part,this paper uses the data from the 2000 census and the 2005 census to adopt the dual differential(DID)strategy to explore the short-term policy effects of college enrollment expansion policies on urban women and rural women's employment.Both women and rural women have a positive impact on employment.In the second part,in order to explore whether the positive impact of college enrollment expansion policies on women has medium-term and long-term effects,this paper uses the 2010 census and the 2015 national 1%population sample survey data to estimate the expansion of college enrollment in rural female urban women.Long-term policy effects,the study found that from a long-term perspective,college enrollment expansion still maintains a positive impact on the employment of urban and rural women.In the third part,the robustness test,by fictionalizing the time point of a college enrollment expansion.Adds samples of different ages to the model for estimation.The results prove that the identification strategy of this paper is effective,and the enrollment expansion of colleges and universities significantlyaffects the employment rate of the intervened groups.There was poorly significant impact on the employment rate of uninterrupted groups.The fourth part measures the impact of gender preference and gender identity on women's employment.In the gender preference section,this paper uses gender preference as a tool variable to measure whether there is a gender preference in the family's educational investment in children.In the gender identity section,this article will study the sample to determine the influence of marriage and childbirth on women's employment,according to whether marriage and birth are further refined.The fifth part draws on the theory of relevant disciplines and proposes relevant countermeasures and suggestions to solve the problem of women's employment in China.In addition,due to the author's theoretical level and limited research ability,the research in this paper still has certain deficiencies.This paper regards the university enrollment expansion policy as a large-scale random experiment,but in fact,due to the uneven distribution of educational resources in urban and rural areas and the different family economic levels,the randomness of college enrollment expansion policies has declined.There are certain limitations on the measurement methods and models of gender preference and gender identity.
