Abstract
Using CHNS data,this paper estimates the impacts of number of children on the labor supply and wage earnings of married women.Using instrumental estimation and Heckman two-step estimation strategies,this paper solved the problem of the endogeneity of the number of children and sample selections in estimating hours of working and wage earnings.This is the first paper that attempts to estimate the causal effects of fertility on labor supply and wage earnings of urban and rural married women in China.It is found that additional children significantly reduce urban married women＇s labor supply,hours of working and wage earnings.No significant effects of fertility on rural married women＇s labor supply and wage earnings have been found,but fertility indeed decreases rural married women＇s hours of working.关键词
