我们调查了中国农村新兴私营部门中女性和男性所扮演的角色。具体而言，我们探讨了八省农村地区家庭经营企业的性别和劳动力配置。中国健康与营养调查（1989年）收集的数据表明，拥有大量女性劳动力的家庭在创办和经营小企业方面没有优势；相反，企业的参与取决于男性劳动力，尤其是老年男性的存在。此外，如果一个家庭经营企业，男性比女性更有可能在其中工作。在中国农村，男性显然主导了家庭企业的发展和扩张，而女性则越来越多地从事农业活动。讨论了这些发现的可能原因。
We investigate the roles played by women and men in the emerging private sector in rural China. Specifically, we explore gender and the allocation of labor in household-run businesses in the rural areas of eight provinces. Data collected in the China Health and Nutrition Survey (1989) indicate that households with a large pool of female labor are at no advantage in starting and running a small business; rather business involvement depends on the male labor pool, especially the presence of older men. Furthermore, if a household runs a business, men are more likely than women to work in it. Men apparently have led the development and expansion of household business in rural China, while women increasingly specialize in agricultural activities. Possible reasons for these findings are discussed.
