最近中国国有企业（称为“下钢”）的劳动力紧缩政策对效率和公平都有重要影响。本文利用 2000 年进行的一项调查，探讨了下岗政策的个人层面的决定因素和后果。多达 11% 的城镇工人被裁员，其中 53% 仍然失业。女性、低学历、低技能、中年人和地方政府或城市集体就业人员的裁员风险较高。再就业率较低，意味着失业将是长期的。对于健康状况不佳、受教育程度较低的人和有年幼子女的妇女来说，失业持续时间更长。失业救济金对失业持续时间没有影响。裁员造成的收入损失主要源于失业期间的收入损失。然而，再就业工人的工资低于从未被裁员的工人。 (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. 保留所有权利。
The recent policy of labour retrenchment in state-owned enterprises in China (known as xia gang) has important implications for both efficiency and equity. This paper examines the individual-level determinants and consequences of the xia gang policy, using a survey conducted in the year 2000. As many as 11% of urban workers had been retrenched, and 53% of these remained unemployed. The risk of retrenchment was higher for women, the less educated, the low skilled, the middle-aged, and those employed by local government or urban collectives. Reemployment rates are low and imply that unemployment will be long-term. The duration of unemployment is longer for the unhealthy, the less educated, and women with young children. Unemployment benefit has no effect on the duration of unemployment. The income losses from retrenchment stem largely from the loss of earnings while unemployed. However, reemployed workers are paid less than if they were never retrenched. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
