Abstract

In this literature, the literature review section was used to analyse why the general release of Chinese family policies makes the income gaps between two genders amplified. The study sight involves both family side and employers. The effect of the family policy is caused by the overload of female employees with two identities. The responsibility of family and working areas divided the spirit of them into two halves. To reach a balance between being a mother and an employee, females are forced to choose. As a result, some mothers finally take part in some part-time jobs to give their offsprings plenty of companies. This will lead to a fall in the income levels of the females after pregnancy so that the average income level would be lower. Besides, in the recruiting process, the entrepreneurs are more willing to employ males than females with the same capability, because hiring a female employee for the company may lead to the risk of a ten-month low-productive period, so most females can only take the positions that do not coincide with their knowledge levels.
