英语 中国存在的主要问题

The most serious problem is the equality of men and women. The problem has existed for a long time. In the feudal times ,this kind of phenomenon was very common.After the founding of new China,this trend has subsided obviously,but it still does exist.

There are many reasons for the problem.The main reason is that people affected deeply by the feudal ideas. The preference for males who could carry on the family line is deeply rooted.Many parents just want a boy because they think that the boy can take care of them when they become old.While girls will marry when they grow up and they will leave their parents to live with her husband so that girls can’t look after they parents when they can’t move anywhere.In rural China, people prefer having boys as a way of continuing family names and because there is a belief that sons will support their parents when they are old.

There are many phenomenon about this problem.When searching for a job,many employer would like to chose a male.Women often suffer from discrimination in the job so that it is hard for women to find a suitable job.Because many women don’t have a child so that bosses have to pay for them when they are preghant for about six mouthes or more longer and during this time women can not work.The bosses don’t want to spend this part of money.So that bosses don’t hire women.

The preference for sons has skewed the population toward males. China’s sex ratio at birth is about 833:1000 and it will be more extreme if

the government does not take effective measures for it.Many men who have reached the legal age for marriage don’t marry because the number of suitable married women is little.

Although the government has made a lot of effort in this regard.The government advocates the equality between men and women and forbids to identify the gender of fetus without medcial need and require the employer to hire the female equalily.But the effect is not significant.The most important measure is to changing people’s d ecadent ideas.
