摘要：

本文通过倾向值匹配的方法发现：在控制了其他因素之后，互联网使用者的平均工资收入是非使用者的1.38倍；同时，互联网溢价效应存在着显著的性别差异，女性的互联网工资溢价为男性互联网工资溢价的90.6%。此外，本文发现，互联网工资溢价效应与人们的网络行为密切相关。男性相比女性，具有更强烈的使用互联网资源进行再学习和人力资本再积累的偏好；在女性互联网使用者之间，性别观念更平等的女性具有更强烈的使用互联网资源进行再学习和人力资本再积累的偏好。在传统的网络空间性别不平等的研究框架下，本文着重于探析性别文化观念如何影响人们对互联网的使用偏好和使用方式，从而成为导致网络空间性别不平等的再生产的重要原因和机制。

Abstract:

Internet has changed our working life dramatically in the last few decades. Internet use wage premium refers to the positive return of internet use on wage. This study attempts to examine the impact of internet use on gender inequality in China by analyzing the data from the Third Chinese National Survey on Women's Social and Economic Status. Propensity Scores indicate that people who use internet have 1.38 times more income than people who do not. Although men and women today have relatively equal internet access, internet use wage premium remains gender differentiated. The return of internet use on income for women is 90.6% of that for men. Different kind of internet usages result in different returns as well. Men are more likely to use internet for learning and career advancement than women. Women who use internet for the same purpose have higher wage premium than women who use internet primarily for entertainment. We find that women who believe in gender equality are predisposed to use internet for self-betterment. The study aims to explain the effect of cultural values on people's preference and types of internet usage, and how it become an important source and mechanism of reproducing gender inequality in cyberspace.
