BEIJING — Chinese women university graduates are being fired from their officially assigned jobs because of increasing sex discrimination, an official newspaper said on Friday.
Most of a group of 50 fresh graduates sent back to Peking’s People’s University by dissatisfied employers this summer were women, the Guangming Daily said.
Companies gave reasons such as a lack of women’s accommodation for the dismissals of highly qualified female economists and lawyers, the newspaper said.
It said one technology research institute simply told a newly assigned female graduate: “We don’t want women.”
