Abstract

This paper, from a gender perspective, delves deeply into the issues faced by employment equity in the workplace. By analyzing the gender differences existing in the acquisition of employment opportunities, career development, salary and benefits and other links, and analyzing the social culture, institutional policies and other factors behind them, strategic suggestions for promoting employment fairness in the workplace are put forward to promote the realization of gender equality in the employment field.
