题目内容
14.China dropped its decades-long,one-child policy last year to allow each family to have two children.This change has put 270million married women of childbearing age in the position of choosing between family and work.The employers also face big challenges as more female workers will have two maternity leaves(产假)for a total of seven to eight months.In a survey published by classified advertising website Ganji.com,career women who might be considering having a second child were asked what kinds of pressure they might expect.More than 76percent of the women who were questioned mentioned concerns about the financial burden of raising two children,while more than 71percent said it would be difficult to balance career and family.In addition,nearly 56percent said that having a second child would definitely have a negative effect on their career.
Another survey conducted by Chongqing-based human resources webstie job.cq.qq.com found that over 70percent of job seekers believe that having a second child would make females less popular in the job market,although two-thirds of the employers said the policy will make no difference in their employment of staff.
Feng Lijuan,s senior expert on human resources at 51job.com,a leading Chinese job finding platform,said she would not say"there is prejudice against career women."Feng said Chinese women shoulder more family responsibility."It is not only about maternity leave; a female employee might only fully get back to work after three to five yeas after having her first child."
Wang Yixin,a senior employment adviser,said the positive side is that more companies are trying to attract more talents by providing support to career women."Different from before,it is not only employers choosing employees.Many talents,including professional career women,also choose employers."said Wang."According to our survey,many large companies are very open to their employees'choice of having a second child."
