This study estimates the formal–informal employment hourly income differentials in urban China for the total population and by gender. The results indicate that differences between the characteristics of formal and informal employment account for a much higher percentage of the hourly income differential than discrimination in the labor market. In addition, we found that ignoring the sample selection bias results in an overestimation of the formal and informal male–female hourly income differentials and the degree of discrimination against the informal employment of women—and, conversely, an underestimation of the degree of discrimination against the formal employment of women.
