“…It is important to acknowledge that despite women seeing fewer labour market returns for their investment in education than men, they would be more disadvantaged without it. Research on the relative economic advantage that a qualification confers usually compares women with women and men with men, and consistently finds that, in relative terms, private returns to female education exceed those to male education (Lee & Ihm, 2020). A recent review of the international literature calculated the overall within-gender difference in comparative earnings was about two percentage points higher for women that for men (Psacharopoulos & Patrinos, 2018).…”

This article explores why women miss out in the transition from the educational system to the labour market. Using nationally representative longitudinal data (2001–18) from the Household Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey, we compare how long after graduation it takes men and women with tertiary qualifications (n = 2030) to achieve key labour market milestones: (1) getting a full-time job; (2) getting a permanent contract; (3) earning an average wage; (4) finding a job that matches their skill level. We find significant gender differences in reaching these milestones, confirming that time is a critical dimension for understanding gendered inequalities in the returns to education. We attribute findings to incompatible ‘timescapes’ across the institutions of education, family and employment. The more flexible timescape of education allows women to succeed, but the inflexible timescape of employment (particularly when combined with family responsibilities) impedes them from turning educational achievement into labour market progress.

“…In summary, the research results based on different countries and different perspectives show that reproductive health policy has a significant effect on promoting the rate of return on urban education, and the estimation results using the RD estimation method are more characteristic of random experiments compared with IV estimation ( 19 ). In addition, RD estimation can estimate the local average processing effect by controlling the window width.…”

This study explores the relationship between China's reproductive health policy and the rate of return on urban education by using fixed-effect, mediating-effect, and breakpoint regression models. The authors study the impact of China's reproductive health policy on individual years of education, income, return on education, the impact of reproductive health policy on population health, and overall human development. The empirical results show that the implementation of China's reproductive health policy can improve the rate of return on urban education and increase the average length of education of urban residents by 0.29 years. Under the breakpoint regression model, the educational return rate of urban residents is approximately 12.2% higher than the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimate. China's reproductive health policy has significantly promoted the return rate of residents' education and simultaneously effectively promoted the income of urban residents. With the development of the economy, the government should properly adjust reproductive health policies and improve the population health rate so that the adjustment of reproductive health policies can comprehensively promote the health of residents of all ages. The overall relaxation of family restrictions on children's human capital investment will likely reduce the negative impact of the overall relaxation of family planning, not only improving the health of the population but also contributing to sustainable economic development.

“…As to the study of the participation behavior of farmers, Lastra-Bravo et al (2015) and Riley et al (2018) reveal that the individual attributes of farmers, such as educational background, risk appetite, and perception of e-commerce project indeed have a relation with the participation behavior. Lee and Ihm (2020) stated that gender has a relation with the participation willingness of farmers, and they added that male farmers were more likely to participate in group activities while the female farmers preferred private activities. Another survey conducted by Shi et al (2010) proposed that the participation willingness was a predictor of participation behavior, and it was also affected by gender.…”

et al. 2021

To explore the influence of interpersonal trust and institutional trust on the participation willingness of farmers in e-commerce poverty alleviation in China, a questionnaire survey of 320 farmers in Chongqing Ecological Tourism District was adopted for data collection, and a binary logistic model was used for data analysis. The results showed that (1) both interpersonal trust and institutional trust had a positive influence on the participation behavior of farmers in e-commerce poverty alleviation, and the priority ranking from high to low was: trust in government, trust in relatives, trust in neighbors, and trust in village cadres. (2) Institutional trust had a greater impact on the participation behavior of farmers than interpersonal trust, especially in the poverty-stricken areas where economic development was relatively backward. (3) Individual attributes, household attributes, and rural resource attributes had a significant positive impact on the participation intention of farmers. Among these, the role of rural e-business service platform was particularly important. The role of institutional trust at the village level still did not perform well in promoting the participation willingness of farmers. Based on empirical analysis, the suggestions for promoting the active cooperation of farmers and participating in the cooperation of e-business were put forward, such as enhancing the interpersonal network of farmers, improving the rural e-commerce information service platform, and strengthening the construction of the rural business environment.
