Gender and gender occupation differences were analyzed based on CGSS data from 2005-2015 and probit model and multiple linear regression model.The influence of gender,traditional occupation,income and registered residence was also explored.Creatively introduce the financial crisis as a shock into the study of men’s and women’s labor market.The conclusions are as follows:1.Whether before or after the outbreak of the financial crisis,there is always a gap between men and women in terms of labor participation rate and labor income.Men’s labor participation rate and annual labor income are higher than women’s.1.There are gender differences in the impact of financial crisis on labor participation rate and annual labor income.And the model passed the sample selection bias and processing effect test.2.As a whole,gender concept affects women’s labor participation rate and annual labor income,and different concepts have different degrees of influence.3.The individual samples of different work industries are affected differently by the gender difference caused by the financial crisis.For example,due to the small elasticity of demand and the low dependence of output value on exports,agriculture is relatively less affected by the financial crisis,and there is no significant difference between the labor participation rate of the whole sample and the annual labor income affected by the financial crisis.Textile industry and service industry,the former is more dependent on exports,while the latter is more flexible in demand,which is relatively affected by the financial crisis,resulting in significant gender differences.4.Among the middle and high income groups,the female gender disadvantage is the most obvious.In the middle and high-income groups,because their industries are greatly affected by the financial crisis,and women have employment disadvantages,they are affected by the financial crisis.The labor participation rate and annual labor income of women are significantly higher than men at the level of 1%affected by the financial crisis.5.Based on these findings,this paper argues that women’s economic disadvantage should be paid attention to when the external impact of industrial structure change is difficult to predict.
