Abstract

The extensive participation of Chinese women in rural economic activities has not only contributed significantly to the construction and development of the rural economy but also played a crucial role in poverty alleviation efforts. Women’s involvement in various sectors such as agriculture, livestock farming, handicrafts, and small-scale businesses has helped create employment opportunities, increase household income, and improve living standards for their families. However, despite their immense contributions, there still exist disparities in social security rights, including pension insurance, medical insurance, and maternity insurance, between women and men in rural areas. Rural women's labor remains undervalued, resulting in inadequate social security coverage compared to men. By comparing the discrepancies in social security rights between rural women and men, it becomes evident that the value of women is grossly underestimated. It is imperative for the government to establish and improve a policy and regulatory system that safeguards women's personal rights while incorporating a gender perspective into the process of policy formulation to ensure basic rights protection for rural women and promote sustainable development in new rural areas.
