Abstract: Abstract With the changes in China’s population structure and the decrease in the female labor force participation rate, the issue of female labor supply has become a key topic in alleviating labor shortage and promoting gender quality. This paper systematically summarizes relevant literature, and studies it from two aspects: influencing factors and multi-dimensional value. On influencing factors, the accumulation of human capital, the decision-making of fertility behavior and the sharing of family responsibility at the individual and family level; The interaction of fertility policies, the lack of supportive policies and gender discrimination in the labor market at the policy and social level; As well as the transformation of employment form brought by the digital economy, have jointly shaped the complex pattern of female labor supply. In terms of multi-dimensional value, female labor supply not only achieves labor market expansion by filling the labor gap and promoting industrial transformation but also promotes gender equality by enhancing economic independence and breaking occupational gender segregation and realizes the cyclic gain of human capital through the intergenerational transmission of the return on education investment. Research indicates that long-term effect assessment, policy coordination mechanism and localization theory innovation should be strengthened in the future, to provide theoretical support for the optimization of female employment environment.
