In this chapter, we provide new estimates for male–female hourly wage differentials in urban China on the basis of the Oaxaca and Reimers methods (Oaxaca 1973; Reimers 1983). We use the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) questionnaire (2004 and 2006 pooling data), and employ the Heckman two-step procedure in order to address the sample selection bias. The results indicate that the hourly wage differentials and the unexplained portion of the hourly wage differentials are smaller than the differentials obtained if the sample selection bias is ignored.
