The effect of Chinese economic reform and opening up to markets globally on wage inequality against women has been the subject of considerable attention of numerous

scholars. The main purpose of this

presentation is to examine the study of gender wage differentials within the transitional Chinese labor market by using some appropriate theories and evidences to support the research. Moreover, several solutions to address this issue would be further explored throughout the presentation as well. Sự tác động của công cuộc cải cách kinh tế ở Trung Quốc và việc mở cửa đến các thị trường khác trên toàn cầu đối với tình trạng bất bình đẳng về tiền lương chi trả cho nữ giới đã trở thành đề tài đáng được chú ý của rất nhiều học giả. Mục đích chính của bài thuyết trình này là xem xét các nghiên cứu về sự khác biệt liên quan đến mức lương của nam giới và nữ giới trong thị trường lao động chuyển tiếp ở Trung Quốc bằng cách sử dụng nhiều giả thuyết và bằng chứng thích hợp để hỗ trợ thêm cho việc nghiên cứu. Ngoài ra, một số giải pháp cần thiết để giải quyết vấn đề này cũng sẽ được tìm hiểu kỹ hơn trong bài thuyết trình này.
