China Women’s Labor Rights Protection under the
Framework of International Conventions (Compendium)
Ye Jingyi
Abstract: This research focuses on the international conventions on women’s labor
rights and their application in China. The international labor standards are deemed as
a very important instrument to measure the degree of the adjustment of governments
to the economical globalization and thus have also led labor laws into the process of
globalization through international labor conventions. China is encountered with
various complicated problems in its simultaneous process of developing market
economy and globalization. Great efforts have been made to comply with
international labor laws. The author finally reaches to a conclusion that women’s
labor rights protection should take not merely laws, but the whole background of a
civil society’s economy and politics into consideration, and a social supporting
network should play an important role in applying laws.
