In the Labor Law, the Law on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests, the Law on the Protection of Disabled Persons, the Employment Promotion Law and other laws, there are provisions on workers' equal employment rights. However, the current anti-employment discrimination law can no longer meet the needs of social development because its provisions are too scattered and too principled.
Men are preferred, and those who can prove that they are women can do it-Wen Zhu said frankly that when he saw this condition in the recruitment information, the whole person was shocked.
During the time when he was looking for a job before graduation, asparagus repeatedly hit a wall because of gender problems.
"Some recruitment information will directly state' as long as boys', while others will ask whether they are married and have children during the recruitment process. Once I was recruited, I ran all the way, but I was later told that I only recruited boys this year. " When it comes to discrimination in job hunting this year, Zhu Wen can say several things in one breath.
"Almost all boys in our class can find jobs smoothly, but it is difficult for girls to find jobs that they are satisfied with. There are many anti-employment discrimination provisions in the law, but why is it so difficult for us girls to find a job? " Asparagus said helplessly.
When interviewed by reporters, many experts pointed out that although there are some anti-employment discrimination provisions in China's current laws and regulations, they can no longer meet the needs of social development.
In this regard, hou xinyi, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a professor at the Law School of Tianjin University of Finance and Economics, suggested in an interview with the reporter of Legal Daily that a basic law in the field of anti-employment discrimination should be formulated, the concept of employment discrimination should be clarified, a special anti-discrimination agency should be established, and at the same time, relief mechanisms and measures should be stipulated to truly ensure that workers can get effective relief after employment discrimination.
The two-child policy intensifies female employment discrimination.
Hu Xue, who graduated from a university in Beijing, completed two major events in her life-marriage and having children. When she was looking for a job, the employer learned about this situation and signed a contract with her very readily.
"I didn't think so much when I was a student, just let nature take its course. Seeing that it was not easy for my classmates to find a job, I realized that perhaps it was this natural decision of my student days that made me not encounter much resistance when I applied for a job. " Hu Xue told reporters.
Although Hu Xue and Zhu Wen have different experiences, they all point to the same phenomenon-female employment discrimination.
20 15 The National Development and Strategy Institute of Renmin University of China released a report saying that after submitting resumes, the number of times male college students received interview notices was about 42% higher than that of female college students in the same situation.
According to the Labor Market Development Report 20 16 released by the Labor Market Center of Beijing Normal University in 20 16, the initial employment rate of male college graduates was about 10 percentage points higher than that of female college graduates in 20 14 and 20 15.
The report "Women in the Workplace: Trends in 20 16" released by the International Labor Organization in 20 16 shows that the gender gap in the job market has only narrowed by 0.6% in the past 20 years.
20 17 In March, Zhaopin and Peking University Social Investigation Center jointly released the "20 17 Investigation Report on Women's Workplace in China", which showed that women felt more strongly about gender discrimination in employment, and over 80% of them thought that there was discrimination in employment.
It is worth noting that after the full implementation of the two-child policy, it is more common for women to encounter employment discrimination.
"A man said that he had just finished the recruitment work and rejected a girl with very good conditions. He said there were few people in their unit. If female workers of childbearing age come and have two children in succession, the work efficiency of the unit will definitely be affected. But he also admitted that if a wife or daughter encounters this kind of employment discrimination, she will be very depressed and unhappy. " During the two sessions of the National People's Congress this year, Fu Ying, spokesman of the National People's Congress, gave such an example when interviewed by the media.
Hou Xinyi pointed out that employers often unilaterally think that hiring female employees will consume more labor. For example, having children and raising children will consume a lot of time and energy for women, and during this period, women can't devote themselves to their work.
"After the implementation of the comprehensive two-child policy, it means that women may take maternity leave and breastfeeding leave twice, and employers will inevitably consider these issues when recruiting. Therefore, it will set more obstacles for women's employment and further aggravate the gender discrimination in women's employment. " Hou xinyi analysis.
