Why did Ma Yun say that China's future is women?

On August 28th, the 3rd Global Women Entrepreneurship Conference was held in Hangzhou, which was the third grand event held by Alibaba for women. As the chairman of the board of directors, Ma Yun once again delivered a "female speech" as the keynote speaker. Whether Ma Yun is flattering the lady present or not, judging from the noise and applause at the scene, he really hit the sore spot of the lady-that's what we need to pay attention to! Who said that women are not as good as men, and women can also lay half of the country! Generally speaking, the status of women in China is gradually improving, but there is still a long way to go to truly achieve gender equality.

The real life situation of women in the workplace

In 20 18, the female labor force participation rate in China was only 60.87%, and a large number of married women of childbearing age chose to stay at home with their husbands and children and be isolated from the workplace. However, many times, it is a helpless choice for women to be forced to give up their careers. If you browse the recruitment websites such as Zhaopin.com and ChinaHR.com, you will find the gender difference between "male only" and "male first". Even if you don't directly point out the gender requirements, women are just cannon fodder in the interview.

"Alibaba is very interesting. In the early days, we had a good ratio of men to women. Later, there were more and more male engineers and product personnel. On the contrary, our performance growth has declined, not as fast as before. " Although Ma Yun repeatedly emphasized the importance of women to the development of the company at the meeting, gender discrimination is still widespread, and big companies are no exception. "The girl looking for a job is really sad. I am in Fudan University. After three rounds of interviews with Huawei, my main score in the English test ranked first, but my name was not in the first batch of employment list. " This is a painful complaint from a Fudan University student in Zhihu.

Some people say that 60 points for male employees, as women, must get 90 points to really change people's gender bias. Sexism is an invisible pressure that often makes women breathless. This naked reality is the embodiment of workplace pathology. "I think in the future world, the decision of marriage lies with women, not men." Ma Yun's vision is very beautiful. As one of the most important topics in 2 1 century, gender equality needs urgent and non-stop efforts.
