SES-1003820John LoganJing SongBrown UniversityMarket transition in China has been an intriguing topic concerning the withering of the socialist legacy and the expansion of market, but limited efforts have been made understanding changes in the rural household since the reinstatement of the family farming system. This dimension becomes more important given the industrialization of the countryside, the rise of the private sector, and the increase of migration. This project seeks to answer how new economic opportunities are allocated in transitional rural China, i.e., who is employed in nonagricultural employment and how family and market factors are translated into employment patterns? The project integrates quantitative and qualitative analyses. The quantitative models use the CGSS (cross-sectional), CHNS (longitudinal) datasets to estimate what kind of men and women under what family and market conditions are more likely to have nonagricultural work over time. The qualitative part of the research will collect in-depth interviews in coastal and inland village with different levels of industrialization and urbanization. The qualitative analysis will capture political economic dynamics underlying employment patterns, offer supplementary explanations for observed family and market effects, and open up new territories that helped to shape gendered experiences in economic expansion. Based on the integration of small-N case studies and large-N data analysis, the project tries to bridge research traditions of rational choice, gender theories and developmental politics, and to fill the knowledge gap between patriarchal family and developmental state. Broader ImpactsResearch findings have the potential to contribute to a better understanding of grassroots reactions to market-oriented reforms in a previous socialist regime; aid governments and international organizations in the design of developmental strategies that speak to family norms and local contexts and to better evaluate market reform policies in patriarchal societies; suggest fresh ways to look at the relationship between agriculture and other economic sectors in the developing world provide new information on gender relations and family roles in China that are relevant for long term concerns with the position of women in society.

SES-1003820John LoganJing Song布朗大学中国的市场转型一直是一个关于社会主义遗产的衰落和市场扩张的有趣话题，但自恢复家庭农业制度以来，人们对了解农村家庭的变化所做的努力有限。鉴于农村工业化、私营部门的崛起和移民的增加，这一维度变得更加重要。本项目试图回答转型中的中国农村新的经济机会如何配置，即谁从事非农就业以及家庭和市场因素如何转化为就业模式？该项目结合了定量和定性分析。定量模型使用 CGSS（横断面）、CHNS（纵向）数据集来估计随着时间的推移，在何种家庭和市场条件下，什么样的男性和女性更有可能从事非农工作。研究的定性部分将收集对不同工业化和城市化水平的沿海和内陆村庄的深入访谈。定性分析将捕捉就业模式背后的政治经济动态，为观察到的家庭和市场效应提供补充解释，并开辟新领域，帮助塑造经济扩张中的性别体验。该项目基于小N案例研究和大N数据分析的结合，试图弥合理性选择、性别理论和发展政治的研究传统，填补父权家庭与发展国家之间的知识鸿沟。更广泛的影响研究结果有可能有助于更好地理解基层对先前社会主义政权中市场化改革的反应；帮助各国政府和国际组织制定符合家庭规范和当地情况的发展战略，并更好地评估父权社会的市场改革政策；提出看待发展中国家农业与其他经济部门之间关系的新方法 提供有关中国性别关系和家庭角色的新信息，这些信息与对妇女社会地位的长期关注相关。
