早期对中国女性农民工的研究主要集中在单身年轻女性及其就业条件的普遍贫困上。然而，最近的趋势表明，已婚女性农民工的数量正在增加。但已婚女性农民工的有偿工作经历在很大程度上还没有得到充分的研究。为了解决这一差距，我们分析了2014年广东省农民工调查(GMWS 2014)的数据，重点关注在正规部门就业的工人。在比较单身和已婚女性农民工的就业条件时，研究结果显示，已婚女性农民工的工作条件更差，特别是在工资、社会保障福利和工作环境方面。本研究对中国的农民工文学做出了重大贡献，并为传统的农民工刻板印象提供了一个不同的视角。
Early studies on women migrant workers in China focused largely on the dagongmei, or single young women, and the general poverty of their employment conditions. Recent trends, however, indicate that the number of married women migrant workers, or dagongsao, is increasing. But the paid work experiences of married women migrant workers are largely under-researched. In order to address this gap, we analyse data from the 2014 Guangdong Migrant Workers Survey (GMWS 2014) and focus on workers employed in the formal sector. In comparing the employment conditions of single and married women migrant workers, the findings reveal that the working conditions of married women migrant workers are worse, particularly with respect to pay, social security benefits and the workplace environment. This research makes a significant contribution to the literature on migrant workers in China, and offers a different perspective to the traditional stereotype of women migrant workers.
