Abstract

Abstract: The implementation of the comprehensive two-child policy has confronted women with the dual pressures of parenting and work. Dealing with the relationship between parenting and work helps to achieve full employment for women and allows gender dividend to play a positive role in economic growth. This article applies the 2015 CGSS microdata to the empirical test on the impact of parenting and intergenerational sharing in child caring on the employment of married women. The results show that parenting has a negative impact on women's employment. Intergenerational sharing has a negative adjustment effect on parenting. When living together, parents(in-laws) will assist women in children caring, and to some extent reduce the negative impact of parenting on women's employment. And the influence of parenting on women's employment is greater in urban areas than in rural areas. We suggest the whole society should value the contribution of women in population growth and employment, and help women strike a balance between child caring and work so as to promote women's full employment by improving public childcare services, encouraging sharing of child caring work between family generations.

Key words: married women, female employment, parenting, intergenerational sharing, gender dividend
