Abstract

Abstract Owing to the different roles of men and women in the family, women may affect family welfare differently than men. Existing research only analyzes the impact of non-farm employment or male non-farm employment on family welfare, and the impact of female non-farm employment on the family has not been addressed in existing studies. China is a particularly interesting case given its rapid economic development and rising rates of female non-farm employment. We used data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey to analyze the dietary patterns of family members and identify the factors that influence food choices and nutrient intake. The results showed that female non-farm employment reduced household protein and calorie intake levels and increased the frequency of dining out among rural household members.
