We explore a 2013 policy shock that relaxed the One-Child Policy in China. Using an employer-employee matched administrative data, we show that after the policy shock, the salary of female new hires is reduced by 2.7% relative to the salary of male new hires, equivalent to a 47% increase in the gender wage gap in the data. The effect is more pronounced for female new hires aged below 35, implying the salary reduction is related to concerns about the increasing fertility of females.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
