Abstract：This paper examines the factors that influence the level of social protection for maternity based on the findings of the 3rd National Survey on the Status of Chinese Women on the state of social protection and the government recent policies. It shows that in the past ten years, the rate of women workers who enjoy granted maternity leave has increased and there is also an increase of the rate of women who take paid and/or subsidized leaves. However, the subsidy is still very low. The majority of the women have to pay part of the cost of delivery in hospitals. Rural women have a higher rate of self paid delivery in hospitals. The examination also shows that the level of social protection for maternity in China is heavily influenced by the existing policy and the gap between urban rural areas. Occupational status is an important factor influencing the level of social protection for maternity.
