The regulations also ban discrimination against women but Only if the work is deemed Suita ble for women workers according to the official China daily. It said the regulations stipulate the kind and intensity of work suit Able to women arid bar them from labor intensive jobs such As min ing and leather making. The Crite Ria used in determining what jobs were suitable was not Given. The regulations were drafted by the ministries of labor and Public health the All China Trade Union and the All China women s federation and have been approved in principle by the state Council the top executive body the report said. The rules guarantee women the right to refuse Job assignments that could harm their health allow one year of maternity leave with 90 paid Days up from the current 56, and guarantee rest periods for pregnant arid menstruating women and those who have just had abortions. The newspaper did not com ment on the possibility that the regulations would discourage employers from hiring women who according to official reports Al ready face greater difficulty than men in finding Urban jobs. In the Countryside most women do farm work As growing numbers of male peasants Are leaving the land to work in Small factories. The traditional belief that women Are inferior to men is still deeply ingrained in chinese society. The guangming daily reported last year that dozens of women graduates of the people s univer sity in Beijing were rejected by the work units to which the state had assigned them. Some units said they did not employ women. European weather forecast for monday Cloudy in the Benelux and Northern Germany with rain or rain showers and isolated thunderstorms.
