Abstract/Summary:
The inspiration of this paper comes from a rational observation on realistic experience. The hypothesis on the complete competition of the labor market and the labor homogeneity in the neoclassical economics must be loosen for us to be convenient to find the real world. So, using the non-competing of the labor market and the labor non-homogeneity as the hypothesis, we import the idea of market subdivision to do research on the labor market running and wage determination mechanism. In this paper we adopt the combination of normative analysis and positive analysis, the combination of qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis, the combination of synthesize and contrast analysis and the research method of system analysis, applying the theory of the labor market segmentation, the neoclassical economics and the neoinstitution economics, probe into the influence mechanism of the dual binary segmentation of the labor market in China on the wage determination and the realization path.On the foundation of absorbing and referring the research result of a lot of scholars on the theory of labor market segmentation and the wage determination, the main work of this paper includes:(1) studying the wage determination problem, i.e., the human capital pricing problem under the hypothesis of labor heterogeneity combined with the theory of property right, value distribution and human resource value measurement.(2) researching on the process of transition of the system of Chinese labor market segmentation and the reformation of the wage determination mechanism in three steps combined closely with the process of Chinese economical system reformation and the transition of the ownership structure of the labor market.(3) making a historical substantial evidence investigation on the industry wage gap for nearly 30 years from the reform and open, and verifying the monopoly effect and human capital effect in the industry wage gap. By founding a multi-variation regression measurement model on this base, we verify the industry segmentation of the labor market. Referring others' result on the dual segmentation of the main market and the minor market, this paper proposes the concept of the dual binary labor market segmentation.(4) applying the analysis structure of the dual binary labor market segmentation to make relatively systematic study on not only the segmentation for the different effect for the dual sides of supply and demand labor but also the difference of employment chance and wage. Furthermore, this paper analyses the difference of the wage determination mechanism of different market sector.(5) making a relatively systematic investigation about the relation between the efficiency and fairness in the wage determination combining closely with the new spirit of the 17th CPC National Congress report. This paper point out that marketization of wage determination is the interior objective mechanism to realize the union of efficiency and fairness. However, non-marketization of wage determination is the main reason that causes the dual lack of efficiency and fairness in wage determination. This is a theoretical test for deepening the recognition of the relation of efficiency and fairness in the New Stage.(6) according to the research conclusion, proposing Countermeasures on three sides for making the labor market and the wage determination mechanism to be perfect: deepening the reform and governance of monopoly industry to maintain the fair and competitive market environment; respecting the property right of human capital and founding the marketization system of human capital pricing; impulse the reform of the system of social security and household register under the direction of the value viewpoint of fairness and justice.At last, point out the contribution of this paper and the problem that needs further discussion.
