The influence of the number of children on rural women:analysis based on the survey of Chinese women's social status
Based on the data of the third "China Women's Social Status Survey", this paper uses the propensity score matching model (PSM) to empirically study the differential impact of families with different number of children on rural women's non-agricultural income from the dimensions of individual characteristics and family characteristics. The study found that the number of children still seriously affected the non-agricultural income of rural women after controlling such variables as age, education level, health status, skills, care and help, and regional effects. The results of group differences showed that the increase in the number of children significantly inhibited the increase of rural women's non-agricultural income, and the income of rural women in the single child family was 1.57 times higher than that in the multi child family; The non farm income of rural women in families with more children is 14.27-16.14 percentage points lower than that in families with only children, and that in families with two children is 12.61-13.34 percentage points lower than that in families with only children; For every additional child, rural women's non farm income decreased by 8.7 percentage points, and the family with two children was 7.3 percentage points lower than that with only one child.
