“…Our study found that the number of children had a significant impact on the Chinese parents' gender ideology. This is inconsistent with findings that "having children or not does not have a significant influence on gender ideology of Chinese people" from scholars using data from "World Values Survey" (WVS) (Shu and Zhu 2012). We suggest that the birth of a child is a major event in the life course of parents, accompanied by both the biological and social construction of identity as parents (especially the identity of mother).…”

“…It additionally led the social sciences to explore its antecedents, mainly from the four dimensions of economics, institutions, culture, and demography. Studies in the economic dimension found that the increase in labor market participation for women (Kodagoda 2014) and the elevation of education level (Shu and Zhu 2012) as well as an increase in income (Gupta 2007) all affect the ideology and behaviors of gender division of labor for individuals and families. Research from the institutional dimension found that the fewer barriers women have to access social economic and professional status, the more likely individuals tend to guard the traditional gender roles in the private sector (Yu and Lee 2013).…”

“…Children under the perspective of socialization are regarded as a household characteristic and thus became part of the control variables. Some studies have found that the impact of having children had statistical significance (Goldscheider et al 2014), but most studies suggest that children have no effect on parents' gender ideology (Cha and Thebaud 2009;Shu and Zhu 2012;Whitehead 2012). …”

Gender and gender ideology have gained increasing attention from researchers in contemporary social sciences. In recent years, some research evidence also indicates that children can affect parents' social value and social attitudes. Based on the sample from CGSS2013 data (N = 8339), this study aims to explore whether children's gender can influence the gender ideology of their parents. Results show that the number of children can significantly influence the gender ideology of their parents, especially for mothers. The influence of having son(s) on parents' gender ideology is significantly moderated by the gender of parents. For mothers, having son(s) can significantly enhance their identity for traditional disposition of gender ideology. The findings help understand the relationship between children's gender and their parents' gender ideology in China.

“…China has attracted a lot of attention in management research lately (e.g., Bloom, Genakos, Sadun, & Van Reenen, 2012) due to its transition from an agricultural to an industrialized economy (Leung, 2002), from centralization to market-orientation, and from dominant Confucianism and Socialism to diverse ideologies with emerging capitalist values (Wang, Wang, Ruona, & Rojewski, 2005). Although traditional gender roles still exist, especially in rural areas, socialist China's promotion of gender equality overall has facilitated more -liberal orientations towards women's combining economic and family roles- (Shu & Zhu, 2012, p. 1103.…”

This article addresses internal migration behaviour in the context of two‐gender‐couple households in contemporary China. Against the backdrop of increasing female education in a society where ideals in the gendered division of labour prevail, this study assesses the role of partners' education in regards to a couple's migration behaviour. Considering education to be a key resource in a couple's negotiations, we test hypotheses on gender symmetry and asymmetry of a partner's resources with regard to a couple's relocation. Additionally, we assess how the role of partners' resources varies across populations with rural and urban backgrounds, and acknowledge persistent barriers to migration due to household registration policies (Hukou) and the associated disadvantages faced by rural migrants and their children. For our analyses, we deploy longitudinal couple‐dyadic data from the China Family Panel Studies (2010–2018) and estimate couples' inter‐county moves using discrete‐time event history models. Our results suggest that couple relocations are associated with higher levels of the male partner's education, and not with the female partner's education. We do not find that partners' gender ideology moderates these associations. The role of the male partner's education was found to be more relevant in couples' relocations for those with an agricultural household registration. Our research contributes importantly to debates on persistent gender inequality and urban–rural divides in China, and how these factors permeate migration behaviour.
