The Barrier and Reasons Analysis of Female Occupational Development Based on Identity Intersectionality

Abstract

This research aims to explore the unequal treatment of Chinese women in their career development due to gender differences and the causes of this social phenomenon. Through the classification of relevant literature, the situation of women in different fields of work is comprehensively analyzed and compared to illustrate the specific manifestations of inequality. This study argues that the causes of this social phenomenon of female unfriendliness due to gender differences can be roughly discussed and divided into three types followed, which are physical differences, stubborn stereotype, and traditional man-centered view. In addition, how to reduce the inequality caused by gender differences in different industries in China is also of great significance, the specific suggestions generally include improving women's educational level, increasing gender awareness at the social level, and requiring companies not to use gender as one of the selection criteria for candidates when recruiting. Such discussion might not only protect women's rights and interests in the workplace, but also promote gender balance in Chinese society.
