The Influence of Long-Term Care Insurance on Female Employment Polarization:Based on Time-Varying DID Model
Using the data of the China Migrants Dynamic Survey(CMDS)from 2011 to 2018,the time-varying difference-in-differences model was constructed to assess the impact of long-term care insurance on the employment structure of female labor force.The results showed that,com-pared with the middle-skilled female labor force,long-term care insurance significantly increased the wage level of the high-skilled and low-skilled female labor force by 14.15 and 7.37 percentage points.Respectively,thus promoting a two-way employment polarization of the female labor market.This polarization phenomenon also exists in the level of employment and working hours,and is more obvious in cities with relatively backward economic development level and weak tradi-tional cultural atmosphere.In view of this,in the process of promoting long-term care insurance,it is necessary to enhance the professional skills of female nursing practitioners,effectively im-prove their adaptability to industrial changes,and explore the development of more practical tra-ditional cultural concepts and elderly care models needed by disabled families.
