Abstract
Nowadays, many women are discriminated in the workplace because of their gender. Equal employment for women is at the centre of this study, and the dynamic equilibrium between the reproductive policy and the related supporting policies, especially the public service policy, together constitute the policy background to the issue of women's employment, while at the same time the social has some negative evaluation of women's employment. At present, China's traditional labour division model of "men focusing on the outside and women focusing on the inside" has been turned into a labour participation model in which females devote themselves to both work and family, i.e., internal and external labour participation, while men still continue to "focus on the outside" one-dimensional labour model. The increase in women's labour force participation rate has, on the contrary, put women in a more unequal situation. This paper first describes the current situation of gender-based discrimination against women in the workplace in terms of three aspects: recruitment, promotion and pay. It then analyses the causes of these phenomena and looks for ways to address them to better protect women's equal rights in the workplace.
