Abstract

The essay aims to explore how the two factors of sex segregation and education influence people’s career achievements, including type choosing, promoting and treatment. The study predicts the way women office workers balance their work and domestic life under the new Three-child Policy, and analyses students’ dilemma when choosing their academic major. It may have some reference value to India due to the social status of women and the relatively short history of women’s rights movement in the two countries. The result reveals that pregnancy plays an important part when women choosing their type of job, it shows the majority of women give up many invisible promotion opportunities due to consideration of pregnancy and childcare. In account of the difficulty that students change their majors in Chinese universities, some policies of higher education mislead plenty of students to enter unsuitable majors for further study, which causes a waste of education resources. Students only acquire examination theory but lack of relevant practical experience to deeply understand the job prospects of the major. The admission pattern of higher education in East Asia is quite similar that students are required to pass a decisive college entrance examination, therefore, the essay hopes to have broader lessons of gender equal in career competition and points out the current education’s weakness has affected the profession choosing in India and East Asia. In conclusion, the essay deepens our understanding of the career restrictions the young are facing nowadays. Less work positivity means low efficiency in production so it is necessary to emphasize its significance. Moreover, the essay can help society establish a healthy operational mode among workers, enterprises and government. Admittedly, the essay is limited in the way that it only considers two main factors that lead to the ceiling phenomenon, further studies can look into other fields, such as age, international economic environment and so on.
