Stand By Your Man: Wives' Emotion Work During Men's Unemployment

Recent research on unemployment has not sufficiently acknowledged how unemployment reverberates within families, particularly emotionally. This article uses data from more than 50 in‐depth interviews to illuminate the emotional demands that men's unemployment makes beyond the unemployed individual. It shows that wives of unemployed men do two types of emotion work—self‐focused and other‐focused—and both are aimed toward facilitating husbands' success in the emotionally arduous white‐collar job‐search process. This article extends research on emotion work by suggesting that participants perceive wives' emotion work as a resource with potential economic benefits in the form of unemployed men's reemployment. The findings furthermore suggest that as a resource, wives' emotion work is shaped by the demands of the labor market that their husbands encounter.     

The Influence of Living in Two Places on Conjugal Relations: “Instrumental” Characteristic of Norm of Love in China

This research focuses on dual residences (living in two places) on Chinese married couples, a phenomenon with a unique Chinese social background, based on the analysis of 15 cases sampled in the form of interviews, exploring the influence of having dual residences on husband-wife relations and then further exploring its influence of the norm of love and how it works in China. There are three main conclusions. First, compulsory dual residence is closely connected to the rigorous systems of household registration and job allocation during the planned economy period. Voluntary dual residence is related to utilitarian values, including the pursuit of social status and income, against the background of the market economy. Second, at a time when to be working was the first and foremost goal for both men and women, compulsory dual residence was influenced by mainstream social norms that gave priority to work over relationships. Such recognition weakens the influence of dual residences on husband-wife relations. The influence of voluntarily having dual residences on husband-wife relations is mainly connected with how this situation comes to an end. Third, in China, the norm of love in coexistence with multiple values has not been shown to have a decisive influence no matter how the spouses were selected selection or how husband-wife relations are maintained.     

Joint influence of measurement error and non response on estimation of population mean

In this paper, we propose a method to jointly incorporate measurement error and non response in the estimators of population mean using auxiliary information in simple random sampling. We have not only studied some available estimators but also suggested three new estimators in the presence of two types of non sampling errors occurring jointly: the measurement error and the non response. The expressions for the bias and mean square errors of proposed estimator have been derived. A comparative study is made among the proposed estimators, the Hansen and Hurwitz (1946 Hansen, M.H., Hurwitz, W.N. (1946). The problem of non-response in sample surveys. J. Am. Stat. Assoc. 41:517–529.[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) estimator, the Cochran's (1977 Cochran, W.G. (1977). Sampling Techniques, 3rd Edn. New York: John Wiley &; Sons, Inc. [Google Scholar]) estimator, and the Singh and Kumar (2008 Singh, H.P., Karpe, N. (2008). Estimation of population variance using auxiliary information in the presence of measurement errors. Stat. Trans. New Ser. 9(3):443–470. [Google Scholar]) estimator.     

中国通胀水平及其不确定性双长记忆统计特征研究——基于ARFIMA-HYGARCH-t模型

基于ARFIMA-HYGARCH-t模型对1985年1月至2015年12月间中国月度通货膨胀的均值过程和波动过程进行统计检验,发现通货膨胀水平及其不确定性表现出"双长记忆"行为。在此行为下,利用VAR模型、ARFIMA-HYGARCH-M-t模型及ARFIMA-GJR-t模型检验通货膨胀水平与其不确定性之间的影响关系、影响方向与影响程度,结论支持Friedman-Ball假说;通货膨胀水平正向冲击引发的不确定性程度强于负向冲击引发的不确定性程度。经济政策操作时既要考虑维持通货膨胀的稳定性,也要考虑政策期限结构的长期性。     

城乡社会“断裂”与“人口逆淘汰”再思

"人口逆淘汰"问题在人口学研究中已有明确的结论,但从社会学的角度出发,仍有进一步思考的余地。在梳理人口学研究成果的基础之上,从城乡社会"断裂"的社会学角度,对"人口逆淘汰"问题进行再分析、再思考。城乡人口素质差异等"社会统计事实"背后,是城乡社会"断裂"的现实。制度因素如户籍制度和教育健康资源占有与配置等结构因素深刻影响了我国人口素质的提高。     

金融危机视角下当前我国农民工失业问题解析

我国以加工制造、出口为导向的中小型企业在当前的全球金融危机中受到了严重的影响,而它们在危机之前又吸纳了大量的农民工,因而当前这场金融海啸无疑对农民工群体造成了重大影响。作为社会弱势群体,农民工失业和再就业问题已受到全社会的关注。从政府、企业、农民工自身三个角度分析当前造成农民工失业的实际原因,并提出相应的政策建议。     

城乡一体化的阶段性特征与战略思路

破解城乡二元结构、促进城乡一体化是我国当前面临的重要任务。我国正处于城乡一体化的探索阶段,应以继续推进城镇化和工业化作为动力,以农民非农化转移、新农村（含小城镇）建设、农业现代化为内容,以区域协调机制为手段,分区域、分阶段、分重点,稳步强化区域互动、缩小城乡差别、破解城乡二元结构,争取最终实现城乡一体化。     

城乡二元结构与城市化道路演进

城乡二元结构始终是我国改革和发展绕不开的深层矛盾。我国的城市化也是被广泛探讨的热点问题。通过回顾我国城乡二元结构及城市化道路的演化进程,挖掘其阶段性的特点及内在原因,探讨我国城乡二元结构及我国城市化道路的内在联系。     

双重角色:九江的历史与现实

九江特殊的位势,使其所扮演的角色带有双重性。近代开埠通商以前,九江不仅是江西的地方行政中心之一,同时也是长江流域重要的货物调剂中心;近代开埠通商之后,九江成为江西进出口贸易的中心,但随着上海与汉口等城市的崛起,九江在长江流域开始边缘化;因此,如何处理九江与江西以及九江与长江流域的关系就成为当今九江城市发展的关键问题。     

剩余劳动力转移的索洛模型解释

本文尝试将分析经济总量变化的经济增长理论应用于分析部门关系的经济发展问题,通过索洛模型中劳动力增长率的内生化,以非农部门经济变量为基础建立了分析二元经济剩余劳动力转移的模型,并对我国非农部门投资率与人均资本变化对剩余劳动力转移的影响进行了考察,结果表明模型能较好地解释中国经济发展过程中的剩余劳动力转移现象。
