| Summary/Abstract |
Studies of the return to education in urban China have reported that this has increased over time, and that females typically have a higher return than males. In this paper we adopt a framework provided by the over education/required education/under education literature, and the decomposition developed by Chiswick and Miller (2008), to investigate the reasons for these findings. The finding by Chen and Hamori (2009), from analysis of data for 2004 and 2006, of the return to schooling for males exceeding that for females, is also examined using this decomposition.

| Summary/Abstract |
In this paper, we use data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) to examine if there are any gender differences in child anthropometric outcomes among rural Chinese children, explicitly taking into account the role of China's family planning policies. Our analysis shows that although there have been improvements in the child anthropometric measures height-for-age and weight-for-age over the last two decades, children, particularly girls from non-one child households have adverse nutritional outcomes. These gender differences persist in two-child households, where boys have better height-for-age outcomes when their sibling is a male rather than a female. Our decomposition model finds that there is a large unexplained component, which may be attributed to gender discrimination against the girl child.
