Why does the boss want to recruit a single female assistant?

This is a requirement of the enterprise and is not illegal.

I once read the following news on the Internet. A company must be single to be able to use it.

The legal provisions cannot be exhausted. The key to determining whether there is discrimination or not is whether the conditions are required for the normal performance of the job. As for whether married people are more suitable for a job than married people, there is no authoritative statement. What everyone relies on is a guess based on common sense. Since family, especially raising children, requires a lot of energy from married people, some people may be inclined to believe that single people are more suitable for assistant positions. In addition, whether the company is recruiting female assistants or male salespeople, all of them are required to be single. It can be seen that there seems to be no discrimination against women. If it is true, it is also discrimination against married people.

In addition, it must be mentioned that the public has misunderstandings about discrimination. Most people think that discrimination means being treated unequally, so discrimination is bad. But in the field of economics, or marketing, discrimination has another meaning, which is differential treatment. For example, common price discrimination, different pricing, that is, price discrimination is conducive to the conclusion of negotiated deals, and instead of doing any harm, it has benefits; another example is service discrimination, when taking children to restaurants, children are treated differently, and they can enjoy BB stools. This kind of "discrimination" is actually demand-oriented precision service.

Back to the topic of recruitment, companies reasonably list conditions within the scope permitted by law, which is understandable just to improve screening efficiency. If we follow this logic, the female boss of the company is recruiting single female assistants. This is just the company’s true idea, and there is no shame in saying it outright. On the contrary, if they do not be honest and write it down in order to avoid turmoil, but follow it quietly in actual operations, it will only waste everyone's energy for no reason, both for the applicants and the company itself. It is an uneconomical choice.
