本文采用雇主-雇员匹配数据，检验了工会成员身份是否会降低中国劳动力市场的性别收入差异。我们有三个主要发现。第一，工会成员资格有助于减少小时工资和月津贴方面的性别差异，但不能减少月基本工资和年度奖金方面的性别差异。第二，确保女性工人获得加班费是工会成员帮助减少性别收入差异的一种方式。第三，控制企业固定效应降低了工会成员资格对时薪和月津贴性别差异的影响，这意味着未观察到的企业特征可能会影响工会成员资格对性别收入差异的影响。
This paper examines whether union membership reduces gender earnings differentials in the Chinese labour market using an employer–employee matched data set. We have three main findings. First, union membership helps reduce the gender differentials in hourly wage and monthly allowance, but not in monthly basic wage and yearly bonus. Second, ensuring that female workers receive overtime pay is one way by which union membership helps reduce the gender earnings differentials. Third, controlling for firm fixed effects reduces the effect of union membership on the gender gap in hourly wage and monthly allowance, which means that the unobserved firm characteristics might impact the effect of union membership on gender earnings differentials.
