With the progress and development of the times, women's status and living conditions are undeniably getting better. However, gender discrimination still exists in the workplace, which disturbs many women and hinders their development. To help improve this social phenomenon to promote the development of the society, it is necessary to study the historical development of women's status and current national data, but there are not many essays related to this topic. I will examine the fertility of Chinese women, their current state of family life and workplace, accompanied by changes in the status of women throughout history, using a large body of data in the essay. The conclusion is that the current situation of Chinese women in the workplace still needs to be improved, which should combine means in different aspects, such as social ideology promotion, government policy making and the economic development.
