【内容提要】本研究利用 2022 年中国家庭追踪调查数据，探讨了夫妻权力对家庭消费的影响。结果表明，由女性决策支出的家庭整体消费水平显著高于由男性决策的家庭；在消费类别方面，女性决策显著提高了食品、衣着和医疗等基础生存型支出，而在发展型或重大支出上性别差异则不显著，表明女性家庭权力对家庭消费的影响主要集中于日常生活领域。进一步的机制分析表明，当由女性决策支出且夫妻家务劳动时间差距较小时，家庭消费水平进一步提升。促进消费的相关政策应关注家庭内部权力结构，进一步推动性别平等、促进夫妻在职业与家庭责任中的均衡分工，从而释放家庭消费潜力，推动居民消费增长。

Marital Power, Household Labor, and Consumption：An Empirical Analysis Based on CFPS2022

Abstract: This study examines the impact of marital power dynamics on household consumption using data from the China Family Panel Studies 2022. The results show that households in which women make spending decisions have significantly higher overall consumption levels than those where men make the decisions.In terms of spending categories, female decision-making notably increases basic survival-related expenditures such as food, clothing, and healthcare, while gender differences are not significant for developmental or major expenditures. The results suggest that women’s power in the household mainly influences everyday consumption. Further mechanism analysis reveals that household consumption increases even more when women make spending decisions and the gap in housework time between spouses is small. The findings highlight the role of marital power dynamics in shaping consumption and suggest that promoting gender equality and balanced domestic responsibilities can help stimulate household spending.
