Abstract

This paper uses the CGSS2017 database and mainly uses regression analysis to study the appearance discrimination in the Chinese labor market in terms of BMI, an representative appearance characteristic, and attempts to analyze the differences that arise between groups of different incomes and ages to confirm the existence of appearance discrimination against labors in the Chinese labor market. According to the findings of this paper on average, women with lower BMI receive higher wages among women under 40 years old and at low and middle income levels; however, this appearance discrimination is not significant among men, as this variability is caused by the potential gender discrimination in the Chinese labor market.
