Why are companies reluctant to hire unmarried women when recruiting?

In real life, this kind of deep malice and discrimination against women is common. Unmarried children are classified as "leftover women", labeled as failure, shame and unhappiness, and treated differently in the workplace.

1. A 27-year-old woman in Zhengzhou, Henan Province was rejected by HR because she was unmarried and childless, which caused widespread concern. A netizen in Fuzhou, Fujian said that he was unmarried at the age of 30. After being hired by the company, she was rejected because she was unmarried and had no children, which triggered a heated discussion.

Second, "Are your parents-in-law in good health?" "Is your kindergarten expensive?" "Our company will issue children's day benefits. How many copies do you need? " ……

These questions are not the pleasantries among friends, but the questions that Zhang Mei, a 30-year-old job seeker, was often asked in the interview for the past six months. According to the existing national regulations, enterprises are not allowed to ask about women's marriage and childbirth during the interview. However, Zhang Mei recalled that almost all the companies she applied for would get answers in a roundabout way.

In addition, there is marriage and childbirth in the recruitment form. If the job seeker refuses to fill in the information and asks the other person to go home, it often means that the interview failed.

Third, in fact, women have long suffered from gender discrimination in the workplace. According to the Survey Report on Women's Workplace Situation in China in 2022 released by Zhaopin, 6 1.2% of women were asked about marriage and childbirth when applying for a job, up from 55.8% in the previous year. 38.3% of women said that getting married and having children affected their career prospects; 65,438+065,438+0.9% women's salary increase is not smooth due to gender.

Fourth, married, generally no longer involves renting a house, but around childbirth, first ask, "What do you think of the future development of your age?" For this question, the answer of the job seeker is not important. HR will then laugh at himself and say, "My family will urge me to fall in love and have children. Did my family rush you? " .

The reality is that the employer should consider whether the job seeker has a fixed couple, whether he is married or not and whether he has children. If you are married and childless, regardless of your age, there is a great employment risk for the employer. If you have given birth, the employer should consider whether there are elderly people to help look after the children, and also consider the frequency of employees taking time off because of the children. After the country lets go of the three children, it should also consider the degree of intention of job seekers towards the two children and the three children.

Summary: The problem of gender discrimination encountered by job seekers in job hunting is rooted in the fact that most enterprises are for-profit organizations, aiming at pursuing profits. If we want to reduce gender discrimination, we should consider that the state should bear part of the cost and pass on the pressure from enterprises from a social perspective.
