Job Listings for Mothers

A recent initiative in Qingdao City, China, has introduced 190 job positions specifically targeting mothers returning to work after childbirth. These roles are designed to accommodate flexible working hours and typically involve less demanding labor, such as catering, housekeeping, and security services. While these jobs aim to support mothers, there is a debate about whether they are truly empowering or simply relegating women to low-wage positions with limited growth potential. Critics argue that labeling these positions as 'mom posts' reinforces stereotypes about women's roles in childcare and may restrict opportunities for growth.
