Sexism at Workplaces on Social Media in Contemporary China

Abstract

Gender discrimination and inequality at work are fundamental problems in China. One of the leading causes of gender inequality is the absence of laws and regulations and the profit-maximizing objectives of corporations. The effects of gender discrimination on companies, workers, and human capital investment are severe and detrimental. On a more serious note, prejudice and gender disparity have evolved during the past ten years. Therefore, a more thorough examination is warranted since gender discrimination has become severe and pervasive. Open structured interview is the methodology used to examine gender inequality at work in China over the past ten years.
