Not 985 and 211 colleges and universities?
Propose the introduction of the "Anti-Discrimination Employment Law", and recruitment is strictly prohibited from restricting colleges and academic qualifications
Education is the stepping stone to enter the workplace, but many job seekers are rejected by their favorite companies because they do not have a degree from 985 and 211 universities.
In this regard, the Democratic Progressive Center recommends that recruitment is strictly prohibited from restricting colleges and academic qualifications.
The "Anti-discrimination Employment Law" should be promulgated as soon as possible
to make legislative provisions on employment discrimination issues such as educational background, gender, age, and region at the height of a special law. Identify employment discrimination such as education discrimination and college discrimination, and clarify the legal responsibility for employment discrimination; it is
strictly forbidden for recruitment agencies to release information that contains discrimination on the type of colleges and educational backgrounds
, so as to safeguard the equal employment rights of college graduates and other workers.
Zhang Zhiyong, a deputy to the National People's Congress, suggested that some civil servants, public institutions, and large state-owned enterprises only recognize 985, 211, and "double first-class" college degrees in the recruitment process, and some places impose educational restrictions on the placement of vocational college graduates and their children's enrollment, etc. For
situations that lead to education discrimination in the society, organizations and personnel departments
should establish a management system for items on the prohibited list of academic discrimination
, and all employees of state organs, enterprises and institutions who violate the items on the prohibited list will be held accountable.

Not over 35?
It is recommended to remove the 35-year-old threshold limit for civil service exams
"It is recommended to protect the employment opportunities of job seekers over the age of 35", "it is recommended to cancel the 35-year-old limit for civil service exams"... The topic of age discrimination in job hunting has been on the hot search for many times, and the age limit has also become a hurdle that many job seekers cannot get around.
Hu Wei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, pointed out that in the job market, most units regard the age of 35 as the red line for recruitment, and the situation that the backbone of the 40-year-old and above is one-size-fits-all and marginalized from time to time, and the waste of human resources is extremely common.
He believes that young and middle-aged people over the age of 35 are the backbone of national progress and social stability, as well as a key force in supporting the national three-child policy and actively coping with aging, but the current employment environment is not very friendly to this group.
It is recommended to take multiple measures simultaneously, revise relevant labor laws and regulations, expand public welfare post placement, support the transformation of middle-aged talents' functions, and encourage middle-aged talents to return to their hometowns for construction.
Jiang Shengnan, a deputy to the National People's Congress, suggested that the "35-year-old threshold" for civil servants should be gradually lifted.
Jiang Shengnan said that at the age of 35, he is in the prime of his career. "I just graduated and worked for a few years. After getting married and having children, my parents may have retired. This is the time when money is most needed." It plays an exemplary role and becomes a reference criterion for social organization and individual behavior.
Zhang Yiwu, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, also suggested that for the recruitment of teachers and civil servants for social personnel, it may be required to appropriately relax the academic qualifications, relax the age to 40 years old, and give some appropriate consideration to the previous work experience in terms of length of service.
"Appropriately relaxing the conditions of public recruitment and social recruitment will definitely play a role in guiding the society to change its employment thinking and reducing social anxiety."

Is this position only suitable for men?
It is recommended to balance the fertility costs of both men and women
According to the final statistical monitoring report of the "Outline for the Development of Chinese Women (2011-2020)" recently released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the proportion of girls in all types of higher education exceeds that of boys.
In recent years, "female college students are getting better and better" has also been recognized by all parties.
However, in actual recruitment, some employers still set discriminatory recruitment conditions such as "this position is only suitable for men", and many outstanding women are stumped by gender discrimination.
With the implementation of new fertility policies such as the "three-child" policy, women are facing many new issues in higher-quality employment.
In response to the current difficulties existing in the employment process of Chinese women, Qiu Licheng, deputy to the National People's Congress, suggested that anti-employment discrimination legislation should be strengthened.
In addition, as employers, state organs, governments at all levels, and public institutions should act as role models for combating employment discrimination and promoting fair employment.
Yang Yuanqing, deputy to the National People's Congress, suggested that by increasing the number of paternity leave days for men and adding "paternity inspection leave for men", men should be more involved in childcare and balance the cost of childbirth for both men and women; enterprises should be encouraged to implement flexible work for female employees whose children are still in childcare. On the basis of the guaranteed 8-hour working system, flexible working hours are allowed to facilitate the balance between work and childcare.
At the same time, he suggested to broaden the financing channels of the maternity insurance fund, introduce social forces, and expand the scale of the fund, so that the maternity insurance fund can not only pay maternity leave wages, but also cover maternity allowances during maternity leave.
