Analysis on the Gender Difference of Professional Title and Salary of Primary and Secondary School Teachers
Through a survey of 15044 primary and secondary school(including kindergarten)teachers around the country,it is found that female teachers in primary and secondary schools of different degrees,regions,stages,and areas(urban or rural)significantly lag behind male teachers in terms of professional titles and salary.Female teachers not only obtained a significantly higher proportion of junior and lower professional titles and lower income than male teachers,but also obtained a significantly lower proportion of middle to senior professional titles and middle to high income than male teachers.Young teachers got a slow promoting speed in professional titles.There are also a large proportion of teachers with uncertain professional titles.The promotion of professional titles for female teachers in the eastern region,rural and township areas,as well as preschool female teachers,is relatively the most difficult:it's difficult to advance to middle to senior professional titles.Female teachers in the county and rural areas,in primary schools and central regions are deeply trapped in the middle and low income trap,reflective in that it's difficult to enter the higher and higher income sectors.The above-mentioned female teachers have a significant gap compared to male teachers in terms of professional title promotion and salary.Therefore,in the future,the state should increase the living subsidies to rural teachers who really work in rural areas,but also pay attention to improving the salary of teachers in county towns and central areas.In the promotion and evaluation of professional titles,some indicators should be added to reflect the results of gender equality to realize the equal protection of women's rights and interests.
