Shijiazhuang municipal government issued a new regulation. The document points out: upon the expiration of maternity leave, upon my application and the approval of the employer, I can take leave during lactation until the baby reaches one year old, and the treatment during the leave period will be determined by both parties through consultation.

This regulation brings good news to many mothers who are more concerned about their children's health, but the problems it brings are also fatal to many women.

On the surface, extending maternity leave is a humanized policy for the sake of female employees, but such a policy is bound to make women suffer more employment discrimination and the career development space will be continuously compressed.

According to the laws of our country, during maternity leave, the employer may not reduce his salary, dismiss or terminate the labor contract in other forms.

On the one hand, enterprises pay wages during maternity leave, on the other hand, because female employees take leave, things in the company have to be handed over to others, and even some enterprises have to spend time and energy to recruit new people. In order to reduce losses, many enterprises will selectively recruit married and pregnant women when recruiting, and some simply say no to female employees.

Looking back at the new regulations issued by Shijiazhuang, there are several key points.

1.？ You can take time off during lactation until the baby is one year old. If we really wait until the female employees return to work after a full break, will the company still have its own position? Our country's laws stipulate that female employees enjoy maternity leave of not less than 98 days. With only three months of maternity leave, women suffer from such serious employment discrimination. If it is extended again, will any company be willing to recruit female employees?

Some people may say that this regulation only provides employees with an opportunity to choose, and it is not mandatory. Then, I would like to ask if enterprises will know how long it will take for female employees when recruiting people. Or, even if female employees promise to take full maternity leave, will enterprises believe it? It's better to do it once and for all, and simply don't recruit women.

2.？ "The treatment during the vacation period shall be determined by both parties through consultation". The subtext of "negotiation between the two sides" is that employees' wages will be greatly reduced.

Since the treatment is greatly discounted and faced with the risk of unemployment, it is estimated that many people will choose to go to work as soon as possible. Then the positive role played by this policy is actually very limited.

In the recruitment management class, the teacher showed us such a resume, which made people laugh and cry.

General enterprises will use small programs to conduct preliminary screening when screening resumes. HR will set some keywords in the applet, and many unqualified resumes will be eliminated directly.

What is marked in red in this resume is generally the conditions set by the enterprise. In order to improve the passing rate, women deliberately wrote "male" in gender and "married mentality" in marital status. Besides being funny, I can clearly feel the discrimination against women when the company recruits people.

This is the case. I have seen such a case:

Yuanyuan is a graduate student in an ordinary university. She is 28 years old, married and childless. When she was interviewing for a company, she was specifically asked if she was married and had children. Yuanyuan truthfully replied that she didn't have children, but she didn't plan to have children in the next five years.

But unfortunately, after that, she found that she was still not employed by the company, even though she scored first in the written test. On the contrary, a person with a lower ranking than her was hired as an exception.

Female workers are really hard! Unmarried and not pregnant are worried about getting married and returning to their parents' homes, married and not pregnant are worried about taking maternity leave, and married and pregnant are worried about being distracted by their families and children. For lying-in women, if they don't give a holiday, they will worry that their bodies can't bear it, and if they take maternity leave, they will worry about causing dissatisfaction with the company.

Capable women certainly don't have these troubles, but the reality is that most people don't have irreplaceable abilities.

A more cruel fact is that when both husband and wife have children and no one to take care of them, it is usually women who compromise. There are two reasons. First, women's wages are generally lower than men's. Second, when men refuse to give in, women will be soft-hearted because they are particularly distressed by their children.

Once a woman gives in and returns to her family, trouble comes. Because you may be trapped for many years.

When you take your children to primary school and prepare to re-enter the society, someone tells you: wait, it's not too late to wait until your children go to middle school.

When the child goes to middle school, someone tells you: wait a little longer, and it will be easy for the child to go to college.

When the children go to college, you finally have time, but are you still capable? Is there still youth?

Why am I so clear? Because that's what my family does. When my mother gave birth to me, she gave me to my grandparents. Later, because they were too old to take care of me, my mother also felt bad that I was alone at home, so she resigned and became a housewife.

In the past few years from primary school to my present university, my mother basically took care of me at home except for going out to work as a short-term worker for a year or so occasionally. She thought it was easy to take me to college, but her brother was born again, and she had to take care of him every step of the way.

A woman in her forties, who hasn't read many books and has little contact with society, can do nothing even if she has time to go out to work now. My mother always said, "I have been trapped by this family all my life." It's sad and realistic.

I believe my mother is not a minority. Of course, modern urban professional women may not be trapped in their families and cannot return to work, but there is no doubt that once they have children, women do spend a lot of energy on them.

It is important to accompany children to grow up, but what makes people angry is:

The child has a fever, and the mother asks for leave to take care of it; Parents' meeting, mom goes; Children's homework, mother's guidance ......

It seems that the child belongs to the mother alone, and the mother has to arrange everything for the child. If you screw up, friends and relatives will scold you "You can't even take care of a child". It seems that everyone has decided that men are too busy to spend time with their children. Isn't it right that children are brought up by women?

Qipa said that there was once a man who spent less than 12 hours a week with his children and was disqualified as a father. Do you support it? " Fu Seoul talked about a balanced companionship. She believes that balanced companionship is not only a balance in time, but also a balance between parents.

I have always felt that "busy" should be a real state, not an excuse to prevaricate. I quite agree with what Fu Seoul said: "You are so busy, why do you want to get married and have children? Are you engaged in performance art? " "Some dads don't accompany them. The most hateful thing is that you have worked hard to raise your child, and he often jumps out to grab it."

The reality seems really like this. I always thought my dad was very nice when I was a child. He didn't hit him or scold me, and he bought me my favorite toys. Now that I think about it, it may really be that distance produces beauty. My father and I haven't seen each other for a long time in a year, and there are few natural conflicts.

Back to employment discrimination, I don't think any enterprise will be a charity. Enterprises cannot be expected to bear all the costs of maternity leave for female employees at the expense of interests. Therefore, at least most of the cost of maternity leave should be borne by the government.

The best way to end the employment discrimination suffered by female workers because of maternity leave is to take maternity leave for both men and women. Maternity leave initiated by men and women can not only protect women's labor rights and interests, but more importantly, it can give children better companionship.

In fact, many countries and regions have long had maternity leave policies for men and women. Sweden is the first country in the world to legislate for men to take maternity leave. In order to encourage fathers to participate in raising children, Swedish law stipulates that fathers must enjoy two of the 65,438+06 months maternity leave.

However, the paid maternity leave for men in China is still blank at the national level, but I believe that men's participation in fertility affairs is the general trend.

The greatest significance of male maternity leave should be to give women equal rights to work, but also to give men equal rights to stay at home. When men and women truly realize equality of rights and responsibilities, when "fathers with children" are not particularly respected and "working mothers" are not accused, every small family will have a happier look.
