Equal Pay Rights In China

Before taking the WGS class, I knew a little about equal pay rights. I thought everyone should have equal pays if they did same works. When I received the phone call from my mom, I asked her some questions about it. After the talking I found that her wage has 1280 RMB less than her collegues than who are male and have same position in their company. Also, China has a law that requires females retire at 55 and males retire at 60. Although you have good standing in company and have healthy bodies, you must retire, because that is a law!
On the way to developed countries, China did have solved many society problems, but we still facing some problems.
For working women in cities, their average income is roughly 70 per cent that of men, representing a disparity of about 7 percentage points wider than that of a decade ago More female workers choose to laid off than before. They have the rights to speak out and fight for their rights. When journalist interviewed them , one of them who named Ban Lin said "Politics is a men's game and I do not have much interest in that. What concerns me most is completing well whatever is assigned to me and getting paid on time"
