Abstract

This paper uses the data of China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), making a distinction between urban and rural samples and analysing the impact of women’s childbearing on their labour productivity. The results show that childbearing can significantly reduce women’s labour productivity and marginal effects have a decreasing trend. In addition, the higher a woman’s education, the less impact it has. Furthermore, rural women are more likely to be discriminated against in the labour market, while the effect of urban women’s childbearing on their labour productivity is more significant.
