Employment equality 就業(yè)公平 (jiu ye gong ping)
It is necessary to promote equality in the job market as China passes through what many netizens describe as "the worst year to find a job".
According to official figures, a record 6.99 million college students will be graduating this year, an increase of 190,000 over 2012. Widespread discrimination in the job market has made the situation even tougher for many fresh graduates. Potential employers are raising their requirements based on criteria such as hukou (household registration), gender, age, alma mater, physical appearance and other factors which have nothing to do with a candidate's ability, efficiency and educational qualification.
