Abstract

With the adjustment and development of the job market, China's  employment and entrepreneurship environment is becoming more and  more standardized, but employment discrimination still exists objectively. Among all kinds of discrimination, gender discrimination is particularly  obvious, especially the extremely negative impact of the implicit  distortion of young women's equal employment rights. The reasons for  discrimination against young women are mainly the high cost of  employing young female employees in employers. At the same time, there are many shortcomings in the current path to solve discrimination  in employment among young women, broad provisions on legal  construction and weak corresponding supervision and implementation  ability, and slow and poor operation of changes in traditional cultural  concepts. Based on the high employment cost of young women in China, improving the maternity insurance system and reducing the "natural  attachment cost" of young women is an important way to alleviate the  current employment discrimination suffered by young women.
