Recent research into the Chinese female workplace, carried out by Zhilian Employment and UN Women, shows an enhancing in the awareness of gender equality in China, while those born after 1995 are the main force in pushing forward realisations into employment gender equality.

智联就业和联合国妇女署最近对中国女性工作场所的研究表明,中国对性别平等的认识有所提高,而1995年以后出生的人是推动实现就业性平等的主要力量。

According to the “Investigation Report on the Present Situation of Chinese Women’s Workplace in 2019”, the traditional concept of a dominant male position is collapsing. When talking about the issues, “Whether men and women should have equal rights and development opportunities, and can freely develop their personal abilities”, and, “Whether women should go out to work and have their own career”, 92.1 percent and 96.6 percent of Chinese females polled voiced their approval, respectively. Perhaps surprisingly, the men were not far behind; 92.0 percent and 80.1 percent, respectively, support the same statements. 

根据《2019年中国女性职场现状调查报告》,男性主导地位的传统观念正在崩溃。 在谈论“男女是否应该拥有平等的权利和发展机会,并可以自由发展个人能力”和“女性是否应该出去工作并拥有自己的事业”等问题时,92.1%和96.6%的受访中国女性分别表示赞同。 也许令人惊讶的是,这些人并不落后;分别有92.0%和80.1%支持相同的声明。

Emphasised in the results is the fact that 90s young people now have deeper understanding of the significance of gender equality, showing more approval for the idea that independence is a standard for successful women. This is illustrated by approval percentages of 95.2 and 96.9 for the aforementioned statements.

结果强调的事实是,90年代的年轻人现在对性别平等的重要性有了更深的了解,对独立性是成功女性的标准这一观点表示了更多的赞同。 上述声明的批准百分比为95.2和96.9,说明了这一点。

Not only have women’s consciousnesses been gradually awakened and then acted upon, men have also begun to identify with equal opportunities for social and family contributions from both men and women. 93.8 percent of 90s men agreed that men and women should have the same opportunities for development. 

不仅女性的意识逐渐被唤醒,然后采取行动,男性也开始认同男性和女性为社会和家庭贡献的平等机会。 93.8%的90年代男性同意男性和女性应该有相同的发展机会。

In addition, compared with data from 2018, it is claimed that males are more likely to concentrate on their family. Men in Chengdu, capital of westerly Sichuan Province, in fact now spend more time on family than women.

此外,与2018年的数据相比,据称男性更有可能专注于家庭。 事实上,四川西省省会成都的男性现在比女性花更多的时间在家庭上。

However positive the results of the survey, the reality of today remains. Promotions for females in China are still far less likely than for the males. Among senior managers, 81.3 percent are male and only 18.7 percent are female. The burden of fertility on women is still the core reason why enterprises shut women out in terms of promotion, with some companies seeing it a waste of time and an unnecessary expense to rise a women through the ranks who is only going to give birth.

无论调查结果多么积极,今天的现实依然存在。 在中国,女性的晋升可能性仍然远远低于男性。 在高级管理人员中,81.3%是男性,只有18.7%是女性。 生育能力对女性的负担仍然是企业在晋升方面排斥女性的核心原因,一些公司认为,让只会生孩子的女性晋升是浪费时间和不必要的费用。

Yet, some females have abandoned their homes, in order to take over their careers. According to the survey, 76 percent of men think marriage is a necessity, while only 49 percent of women believe thus. Based on this, 71 percent of women and 66 percent of men are today single. 

然而,一些女性为了接管自己的事业而抛弃了自己的家。 根据调查,76%的男性认为婚姻是必要的,而只有49%的女性认为如此。 基于此,今天有71%的女性和66%的男性是单身。

In large part thanks to the younger generation, awareness of gender equality in today’s China is being pushed by not only women themselves, but also with the simultaneous support and understanding of men.

很大程度上要归功于年轻一代,当今中国对性别平等的认识不仅由女性自己推动,而且同时受到男性的支持和理解。
