Abstract

There is a serious phenomenon of gender discrimination in employment in China. The equal rights of women in employment have been greatly damaged, such as "gender barriers to job hunting", "different pay for equal work", and "difficult promotion of female employees". Although the government has taken a series of measures to alleviate gender discrimination in employment in recent years, the phenomenon that women are treated differently is still emerging. In addition to the traditional social stereotype that "men are in charge of the job and women are in charge of their own affairs", the imperfect legal system in the protection of women's equal rights in employment is also an important reason for this phenomenon. This paper proposes to protect women's equal employment rights by making special laws, perfecting existing laws and carrying out the inversion of burden of proof.
