Abstract

This article uses the 2010, 2013 and 2015 waves of Chinese General Social Survey to investigate the effects of Internet usage on gender role attitudes. OLS and IV estimates show that Internet usage can effectively mitigate discriminatory attitudes against females; the effects are stronger among females and rural residents. The Internet can cultivate ideology and affect gender norms through its educational and informative functions.
