On the Social Policy Construction of Occupational Gender Discrimination

The phenomenon of occupational gender discrimination in China's labor market is mainly manifested in three aspects, namely, the low employment rate of female population, the serious unemployment rate of laid-off workers and the large gap in occupational remuneration. Although the survey results change every year, the overall situation has not improved significantly. Economics, sociology and cultural anthropology have all conducted in-depth discussions on occupational gender discrimination. Sociology makes up for the defects of pure rational consideration in economics from a common perspective, which is very explanatory. Formulate social policies to eliminate occupational gender discrimination

1. Strong support from public policies. Some rich countries should create their own active labor market policies to promote women's employment, including vocational education and training policies, unemployment insurance policies, employment introduction and guidance policies, public employment projects and other policies. The United States ("a package of vocational centers") and France set up specialized institutions to carry out targeted training and employment guidance. Many rich countries actively intervene in women's employment, subsidize public employment agencies with financial allocations, and provide free services for women's employment and enterprise employment; Vigorously set up public works to provide employment opportunities for women; Encourage women to start their own businesses and formulate clear support policies. In this regard, both the United States and the European Union are at the forefront and have achieved remarkable results.

2. Further improve the social security system. First, China society needs to enact anti-employment discrimination laws, relying on legal enforcement to ensure that women get equal employment opportunities with men and complete equal pay for equal work; At present, many small and medium-sized private enterprises violate the labor contract law and do not pay the five insurances including maternity insurance, which seriously damages the interests of female employees. The law should make detailed rules to correct them. Second, women bear two social obligations: bearing children and taking care of their families. The maternity insurance for female employees in www.bfblw.com should be transferred to the society as soon as possible, and the enterprise will contribute to the society, and the society will bear the maternity and breastfeeding expenses and maternity insurance. Third, improve and perfect the minimum living security system for women, and provide minimum living security for long-term unemployed and laid-off women. Social security departments at all levels should learn from the experience of enriching the people and strengthening the country, actively help them find jobs, and carry out re-employment services, and separate security from service. Fourth, expand the coverage of social security to include all kinds of female workers, so that old-age insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance and unemployment insurance can benefit all women, improve the degree and intensity of assistance from the three security lines, and alleviate the poverty of unemployed women until poverty is eliminated.
