Abstract: Based on the (CGSS) data of China Comprehensive Social Survey in 2010, 2013 and 2015, this paper examines the impact of Internet use on gender wages and the decomposition of wage differences in the context of digital economy. This paper discusses the heterogeneity and internal mechanism of Internet use in different age groups on the change of gender wage difference. The study finds that the use of Internet has a significant positive impact on the overall level of wages with the scale gradually decreasing over the time, and the use of Internet significantly reduces the difference in gender pay. With the increase of quartile points, the total difference of gender wage decreases at first and then increases, the total difference of gender wage decreases year by year at the same subpoint, and the difference of endowment characteristics gradually narrows the total gender wage difference of the middle income group. The positive influence of Internet use on the wages of post80s is significantly higher, followed by post70s, and the influence on post60s and above is relatively low, implying an obvious heterogeneity on of age.

摘要: 本文基于2010年、2013年、2015年中国综合社会调查(CGSS)的数据,考察了数字经济背景下互联网使用对性别工资的影响及工资差异分解,探讨了不同年龄段群体互联网使用对性别工资差异变动的异质性及内在影响机理。本文研究发现,互联网使用对总体工资水平有显著正向影响,随年份推进其影响程度呈逐渐减小趋势,互联网使用显著缩小了性别工资差异。随分位点数提升,性别工资总差异呈先下降后上升的U型变化趋势;随年份推进,在相同分位点上性别工资总差异呈逐年缩小趋势,且禀赋特征差异逐渐缩小了中等收入者性别工资总差异。互联网使用对80后群体工资正向影响显著更高,70后群体次之,60后及以上群体相对较低,呈现较明显的年龄异质性。
