China implemented its workweek reduction policy in 1995, shortening work days from 6 to 5 per week without reducing wage payment. Exploiting a Difference-ln Differences strategy, we find that both men and women decreased their labor supply. This workday reduction caused an immediate improvement in women's health status by alleviating sleep deprivation and decreasing work-related injuries. At the same time, we find that women became more leaning in toward the family while men tended to exploit such free time to acauire more education and earn an advantage in the labor market.
