摘要：

随着我国人口老龄化和高龄化,家庭老年照料责任与女性参与劳动之间的矛盾日益突出。本文运用中国营养与健康调查2009年数据和工具变量分析方法,实证检验了承担家庭老年照料责任对女性劳动参与率的影响,以期为公共政策的制定提供科学依据。结果表明,老年照料对女性劳动参与存在替代效应,造成对就业的负面影响。为父母提供照料帮助的女性劳动力参与率下降了23.8%,其中与父母公婆同住的女性,照料责任使其劳动参与率下降49.08%,农村女性照料活动使其劳动参与率下降28.1%。

As the population is aging in China, the conflict of women between family elder care and labour force participation is increasingly prominent.Based on the data of CHNS 2009, this paper estimates the impact of family parental care on women's labour force participation by instrumental variables method in order to provide scientific basis for the establishment of the aging and labour policy.It shows that the substitution effect between elderly care and female labour participation exists significantly, causing negative effects on employment.The elder care significantly reduces the female labour force participation rate by 23.8%.For women who live with parents or parents in-law, care responsibility reduces the probability of labour participation by 49.08%, and women's care activities decreases labour participation rate by 28.1% in rural China.
