Research Projects

Currently, I am working on two research projects as the Principle Investigator .

​1. The Transition to Adulthood of Youths in China in Comparative Perspectives
This project is funded by the National Social Science Fund of China and the Youth Development Program (YDP) at CASS. It aims to use over 10 years of  high-quality longitudinal data of Chinese university students to portray pathways of transition to adulthood and compare the patterns with other countries.

2. Female Labor Force Participation and Wealth Accumulation in Tech (Co-PI with Prof.Chunling Li)
This project is funded by the Women and Gender Studies Center at CASS. Basically, as the title suggests, this project aims to answer whether and how technology related industries affect gender (in)equality.
