英文摘要：

This paper investigates the influence of women’s empowerment on the dietary quality of urban residents in China, considering the country’s evolving gender dynamics. Utilizing data from 2022 to 2023 and employing instrumental variable method to address endogeneity issue, our analysis reveals that urban residents living in families with higher female bargaining power are more likely to meet the dietary guideline set by the Chinese Dietary Pagoda. Specifically, these residents exhibit reduced consumption of meat which are current overconsumed, while increasing their intake of dairy products which are current under-consumed. Furthermore, in households with children, enhanced bargaining power of women is associated with a broader variety of food consumption. The effects on dietary quality are particularly notable in low-income households, and there is a significant increase in egg consumption in smaller cities. These changes are likely driven by increased food expenditures and a reduced frequency of dining out. The findings underscore the importance of women’s empowerment as a key factor in improving urban dietary habits in China, with substantial implications for public health and nutrition.

文章概要：

这篇论文研究了中国城市居民膳食质量在当前性别关系不断演变背景下受女性赋权影响的情况。我们利用2022至2023年的数据，并采用工具变量法来应对内生性问题。分析结果表明，在女性议价能力较高的家庭中，城市居民更有可能达到《中国居民平衡膳食宝塔》所设定的膳食指南要求。具体而言，这些居民减少了当前摄入过量的肉类消费，同时增加了当前摄入不足的奶类摄入量。这些变化可能源于家庭食品支出增加以及外出就餐频率的降低。研究结果强调了女性赋权在改善中国城市居民饮食习惯方面的重要作用，对公共健康与营养政策具有重要启示意义。
