In the peak of the traditional job-hunting season, many women say it is getting more difficult for them to find satisfactory employment.

Lin Xia, 29, quit her job after giving birth to her first child. She is now preparing to return to work. After several inquiries at a job fair, she found that the employers were concerned about whether she had plans for a second child.

"I thought it would be easier to find a job after giving a birth," said Lin, who is from Chongqing. "I had to answer whether I will have a second child before I could get a chance for a job interview."
