Abstract

Three child policy was proposed by a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on May 31, 2021. However, opinion polls on the policy show few families are willing to have a third child. In today’s society, women need to assume various social roles. The three-child policy has a direct impact on women’s roles in the family, and such changes will also affect women’s roles in the work field. Such role conflicts or imbalances can create work-family conflict and family-work conflict. This paper will analyze the status of work-family balance of married women and its influencing factors. The author interviews some married women of different ages. The interview questions mainly focus on married women’s thoughts on bearing children under the three-child policy. It can be concluded that family-work imbalance can affect professional women’s work, which is the main reason why modern women do not want to have three children or even children. Governments need to provide policy compensation to reduce the adverse effects of childbirth on women.
