讲座内容摘要 | In this paper, we investigate the contribution of married women’s working hours to declining savings rate during the last decade in China by using the CLDS data. Both our OLS and 2SLS results suggest that household savings rate is generally decreased by longer working hours of married women. We also find a non-linear effect of working hours. Initially, when married women increase working hours, there is a positive effect on household savings rate, reflecting the income effect of labor supply. But there is a negative effect on household savings rate once working overtime, which can be explained by the substitution effect of labor for leisure and reduced fertility intention of married women. The reduction in potential childcare expenditure would lower precautionary savings for child rearing and raise household consumption in the current period. Additionally, our further analysis indicates that in the presence of income risk, working overtime of married women has a more pronounced effect on declining savings rate. | |
