Abstract: Abstract Women's equal employment encounters challenges such as gender-blindness in legal protection, a cultural environment where traditional conservative views are at odds with women's equal employment, the absence of international and domestic gender discrimination intervention links, and invisible gender discrimination. Unequal or inequitable treatment can marginalize women and make it impossible for them to contribute to social and economic development as active members of society. Invisible gender bias in the employment process is increasingly prominent. This paper examines the current situation of women's equal employment and the inadequacy of relevant laws and regulations from both international and Chinese perspectives. The problem of the composition of social structures and the cultural environment which is contrary to the equality of employment of women is the main reason for the current situation and the inadequacy of laws. The solution to the above problems can be found in three perspectives which are legislative improvements, legal and regulatory level improvement, and perfection of multinational enterprise responsibility. Research from the perspective of legal interpretation tends to focus on formal equality in women's employment. This makes it difficult to achieve the transition to substantive equality. Research from a public policy perspective often invites criticism of government overreach and the injustice of proposing policies that favor women's interests. In order to better guarantee an equal employment environment for women, this paper proposes creating a gender-disaggregated employment statistics and monitoring system based on firm type and size, thereby improving the intervention mechanism of gender discrimination in employment linked by the government, social organizations, and the media.
