Abstract

Female income is one of the important factors that reflect the social status of women. By employing Nationwide Survey on the status of Chinese women, this paper analyzes female income and its influence factors through correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. The results suggest that gender pay gap still remains; education significantly affects the income, but it is not the reason for causing the income gap; household registration system has an increasing impact upon gender pay gap; Technical and professional titles fail to contribute to the income of female workforce.
