Abstract

This study aims to explore the difficulties faced by grassroots female civil servants in their career development from the perspective of gender, and put forward corresponding countermeasures. Taking A County in G City as an example, through in-depth investigation and analysis, the study found that grassroots female civil servants generally face challenges such as weak career development awareness, high work pressure, and difficulty in balancing family and work. The shaping of social gender roles on female civil servants has made the conflict between family responsibilities and work a major problem, while the lack of gender awareness in administrative organizations has also exacerbated their career difficulties. This study adopted various methods such as questionnaire survey, in-depth interview, and literature review to comprehensively understand the current situation of the career development of grassroots female civil servants and the difficulties they face. The main findings include: grassroots female civil servants generally lack effective support and opportunities in their career development, and the social gender role positioning has a significant negative impact on their career development. In addition, the lack of gender awareness and gender division of labor within administrative organizations also limit their promotion opportunities, which leads to the phenomenon of reduced self-awareness among grassroots female civil servants. Based on the above findings, this study proposes several suggestions: first, establish a inclusive childcare system to reduce the family burden of female civil servants and promote the balance between family and work; second, break promotion barriers and establish a fair and transparent promotion mechanism to provide more career development opportunities for female civil servants; third, pay attention to the mental health of female civil servants and improve their psychological quality and coping ability by introducing psychological training and modern information technology means.
