Abstract

Cet article analyse conjointement la stratification du marché du travail urbain par type d'entreprise et la discrimination à l'égard des femmes en Chine urbaine pour l'année 1995, à l'aide d'une extension des méthodes de décomposition de type Oaxaca-Blinder. Nous montrons que les deux dimensions sont fortement liées et que l'absence de discrimination à l'égard des femmes dans les entreprises à capitaux étrangers est en grande partie le fait de la structure de segmentation.
