gender gap

Although the Labor Contract Law and the Employment Promotion Act has been adjusted for many years, women have sequentially been receiving unfair treatment in workplace in all ages.

During the hiring process, most bosses, even the female supervisors have preferences for male employees when it comes to the interests of their own. In their view, women have less energy in contrast with men, and they can’t do as much work as men can do. Due to the widespread prejudice, male dominated occupations pay more than female dominated occupations at similar skill levels. What a ridiculous reality! What’s more, bosses blacklist female workers by citing factors such as pregnancy, women being unable to take business trips alone owing to safety concerns, or just because they are wimpy drinkers.

In other case, no matter how hardworking, sociable and excellent a female is, she can hardly get great rewards as a male can, both in the level of salary and power. Once a female employee is desirous to be a senior executive, she may have to give up pregnancy or keeping a child, which is the most significant and holy thing throughout a woman’s whole life. Besides, we can always hear that miss so-and-so of somewhere is sexually harassed by her superior as well. If the female workers reject the amorous advances, she may be driven from pillar to post during her future development. As a result,

most female choose silence in the end. However, similarly it can be highly unlikely for man to suffer from this kind of concerns.
