Abstract

Women in informal employment often need to face more risks and responsibilities during maternity, children, and family care. However, informal workers are rarely protected by national labor laws and regulations, and their labor rights and interests are difficult to be protected. From the perspective of constructing a fertility-friendly society, this paper focuses on the impact of COVID-19, maternity, and family care on women in informal employment and discusses the labor rights and interests protection for women in informal employment in China. To protect the lawful labor rights and interests of women in informal employment, the government should improve and formulate labor security policies related to the epidemic to reduce the impact of public emergencies on people’s lives; improve the social insurance system and lower the threshold for participation in social insurance for flexible employees; lay the foundation for constructing a fertility-friendly society by emphasizing the collective responsibility for family care.
