Abstract
As discussed in Chapter 2, the intervention of state policies has a strong direct and indirect influence on gender relations. Nowadays, women must face a new relationship with the state, especially those women in the labour market. Therefore, it is interesting to see how far state policies intervene in the utilization of the female labour force and how the state copes with the traditional patriarchal family system under the development of capitalism. Since different states have different impacts on gender relations and on women’s opportunities to participate in the labour market, this chapter aims to discuss the changes of state policies on working women, which will lead to a better understanding of the relations between the state and women.
