Abstract

This study selects provincial-level data and listed company data in China from 2012 to 2023 as research samples to conduct an in-depth exploration of the relationship between financial opening and the quality of female employment. The findings indicate a significant positive correlation between financial opening and the quality of female employment, suggesting that financial opening can directly promote improvements in the quality of female employment. Further analysis reveals that human capital accumulation plays a mediating role in enhancing human capital; financial opening indirectly improves female employment quality by fostering the accumulation of human capital. In addition, financial opening further promotes the improvement of female employment quality by enhancing labor market pricing. The conclusions of this study not only help deepen the understanding of the complex interaction between financial opening and female employment quality but also provide theoretical support and practical reference for relevant policy-making, especially regarding the optimization of financial policies, the promotion of gender equality, and the expansion of employment opportunities for women.
