两性平等是人类社会文明程度的体现，对两性平等目标的追求过程是社会和谐发展不断深化的过程。本课题选择国际直接投资这一改革开放以来对我国影响深远的现象，研究其对我国性别歧视的影响。在理论研究上，本课题利用议价能力为桥梁，搭建了国际直接投资对就业、工资及家庭生活影响的框架。首次从长期、短期两个层面系统研究国际直接投资对性别歧视的影响。在经验分析上，本课题改进了传统上利用分地区或者分行业面板数据研究国际直接投资对性别歧视影响的方法。利用调查数据并结合地区宏观数据，不但能够捕捉劳动者个体特征的影响，分析非人力禀赋的差异、职业类别或企业所有制形式等对个体影响的差异，还将采用独特的企业调查数据，深入企业内部，分析内外资企业中性别歧视的差异。本课题的目的为逐步缩小我国现存的性别歧视提供丰富的理论依据和应用性支持。本课题的研究有助于增进效率、公平及促进社会和谐进步。

Gender equality is the manifestation of the civilization of human society. The pursuit of gender equality is the developing process of social harmony. The phenomenon of FDI has influenced china profoundly since the reform and opening. And we studied the impact of FDI to gender discrimination in our work. In the theoretical research field, by using bargaining power, we constructed the framework of the impact of FDI to employment, wage and family life. Based on macro and micro perspective, we studied the impact of FDI to gender discrimination in the long-term and short-term level. In the empirical research field, we broken through the traditional method of studying the impact of FDI to gender discrimination which uses sub-regional or sub-industry panel data. Using survey data and regional macro data, we captured the characteristic of individual labor and analysis the difference between the impact of non-human endowments, occupational category or enterprise ownership to individual labor. In the mean time, we adopted the unique enterprise survey data and then studied the differences of gender discrimination in the domestic and foreign enterprises. The purpose of this subject is to provide rich theoretical basis and application support for the reduction or even elimination of gender discrimination. The research of this subject will be helpful to the enhancement of efficiency, equality, social harmony and progress.
