Chinese provinces are urging companies to offer women flexible job roles called ‘Mama’s Posts’ that make it easier to balance work and childcare. — Reuters picHONG KONG, May 6 — Chinese provinces are urging companies to offer women flexible job roles called “Mama’s Posts” that make it easier to balance work and childcare, the official Xinhua news agency said today.
“Mama’s Post is a position specially created for mothers... the working hours are relatively flexible, making it easier to balance work and childcare,” the agency said.Many mothers stay out of the job market for more than three years until their children are old enough to enter daycare and require flexible working hours on returning to the workforce, the report said.
Many positions still involve labour-intensive tasks in manufacturing and processing, targeting more unskilled workers, such as some on offer in the city of Qingdao in the eastern province of Shandong.But in richer southern Guangdong authorities are looking to promote the new model across all the cities of the province, in professional, technical and management positions, the agency said.
