Abstract:The earlier work unit system, which was built on a unity of national target and organizational targets, promoted the protection of female labor rights and interests and thus, gender equality in employment. The economic reforms have since changed the previous system as division of organizations has created void in the system to protect women's rights and interests and hence, required laws and regulations that have widespread binding force to do the job. Organizations inside and outside of the system have adopted different strategies as they shoulder differently illegal costs and costs of having women employees. While the former mainly occurs in the process of employment, the latter arises in hiring processes, both which give rise to gender inequality.
