Intrahousehold Property Ownership and Family Members' Behaviors
家庭内房产分配影响家庭成员的行为:对2011年婚姻法司法解释三的政策评估
讲座简介
In this talk, Professor Emma Zang will introduce multiple studies conducted by her team, examining the impact of the 2011 judicial interpretation to the Chinese Marriage Law, which altered property rights, on family members' behaviors. Although the focus on macro-level gender inequality continues, relatively few studies have focused on intrahousehold gender inequality in China. Using data from the China Family Panel Studies, a nationally representative survey of Chinese households, these studies use a quasi-experimental strategy to compare the outcomes of members in households that were affected by the legal change with those in households that were not affected. We find that the 2011 judicial interpretation to the Marriage Law led to diminished well-being for women in a typical Chinese household where the deed to the marital home was in the husband's name only. It also reduced their contribution to household public goods, such as children/fertility and savings. In the longer term, affected couples turned to adaptive behaviors more in line with premarital agreements and traditional practices, such as transferring the family home to their children. These adaptation behaviors increased the prevalence of child homeownership, which decreased children's undesirable behaviors such as quarreling with their parents. These studies demonstrate how a seemingly gender-neutral policy can generate gendered consequences. It is therefore critical that policymakers consider the implications of intrahousehold inequality.
在本次讲座中,臧晓露教授将介绍她的团队针对2011年婚姻法司法解释三的多项研究。该司法解释完善了家庭内财产归属的规定,对家庭成员的行为产生重要影响。宏观层面的性别不平等研究方兴未艾,但学界对中国家庭内部性别不平等的关注却相对较少。基于中国家庭追踪调查(CFPS)数据,这一系列研究采用了准实验的实证设计,比较受到与未受到该法律变动影响的个体在多个结果变量上的差异。我们发现,2011年对《婚姻法》的司法解释导致财产仅在丈夫名下的女性主观福利产生明显下降,同时降低了女性对于家庭内部公共品(如生育和存款)的贡献。长期来看,受影响的夫妻会采取与婚前协议和传统实践更一致的适应性行动,如将家庭房产转移至其孩子名下。这些适应性行为增加子女拥有家庭住房所有权这一模式的普及程度,并会进一步减少子女的不良行为,如与父母争吵。这一系列研究呈现了一个看似性别中立的政策如何产生了具有性别偏向的后果。因此,政策制定者理应考虑家庭内部不平等这一重要的社会现象。
