Employment Of Chinese Women In The Gender Discrimination

Employment discrimination due to such causes as religion,nationality or gender has been always existing through the whole history.Specifically,the gender discrimination falling into employment is the most common one. In recent years, with the increasing tension spreading the entire market of human resources in our country, the employment gap based on gender is also much more remarkable than before. Furthermore, employment competition tend to be more intense on account of both the rapid economic development and the transformation of the society in China. the phenomenon (supply exceeds demand),which is popular in current labour market, obviously provide the forcing house to the variety of employment discrimination. In all kinds of employment discrimination, the one aim to females is particularly serious, which has been expanded to the degree of worldwide. This essay,generally,elaborates several aspects of sexual discrimination in regard to the presence of the females' employment,and manage to analyse this issue from the viewpoint of economics.Finally,the most significant purpose of this essay is to put forward countermeasures to eliminate gender discrimination on support of the conception framework of western economics.This essay is mainly divided into the following five parts:The first part is the research summary, the principal aim is to interpret the significance of releasing this problem,as well as the overview of current research stage from domestic and abroad scholars in terms of the status quo, analysis frame and main viewpoints.The second part is the introduction to the present condition of gender discrimination in females' employment in our country, mainly embody the phenomenon by means of unequal opportunities, unequal payment for men and women at the same positions,earlier retirement ages of females, sex segregation in occupation etc..The third part,which explains the gender discrimination on the basis of theoretical economics, mainly carrys out the analysis from the following aspects: the hypothesis of economic man, failure of government policy, the tragedy of the commons and market's externality.The fourth part gives some appropriate suggestions in the framework of economics to eliminate sexual discrimination,such as socialization of female fertility cost,marketization of housework,relevant legislation of government, improvement of woman's personal quality.The fifth part is the conclusion, including the study of countermeasures and political suggestions.To be more precise,this part covers the theoretical analysis of results,opportunity, political suggestions,as well as problems for further research.The innovation spot of this article lies in making use of the mature theory of western economics to explain sexual discrimination in female's employment.The most significant point is using the core theory in western mainstream economics-the hypothesis of economic man, people are both selfish and rational at the same time. Marshall said, economics is not only about fortune research, but is also the study of human. Furthermore, this subject is not only supposed to discuss the intrinsic rules of economic development, such as market forces and mechanism, problems of price decision, the effective distribution and utilization of resources etc, at the same time,it also directly relates to the actors of economic behaviors-human development,human behaviors,thoughts,desires,expectations and requirements.From the standpoint of economics,the highest motive of enterprises to promote economic activities is making profit, so given that man is utilitarian and enterprises' goal is to maximize profit, it will form the most fundamental reason for enterprises to avoid employing female employees with additional cost relatively.The glaring disadvantage of this essay is that,there are few researchers introducing the conceptual framework of economics to the employment of women in the presence of gender discrimination. At the same time,hardly can scholars both at home and abroad reach a consensus on this issue. Then these elements result in the obstacle for further study because the authoritative materials and the lately data about this aspect are unlikely to be available.Combining with the author, who has little talent and less theoretical background from the curriculum. So the mistakes and omissions are inevitable in this essay, the result may not be satisfying. Because economics is a broad and profound subject,there is too much unknown knowledge still under developing.Clearly,it is necessary for author to take additional time to touch the real meanings. However,every subject,as a sort of theory,is doomed to be questioned, making mistakes is inevitable.Everything is relative."Right" is relative to " wrong". namely the current knowledge must be proved wrong,just like the similar business phenomenon,where there is a earn.there is a pay. For the academic divisions, disputes should be intense.but for the author,tolerance and understanding should be expected.
