Why do many businesses discriminate against unmarried pregnancy?

The discrimination of unmarried pregnancy is a bad social phenomenon and a kind of gender discrimination. The reasons may be as follows:

1. Influence of old concepts: Traditional values, which believe that "marriage is the only legitimate way of love and sex", usually emphasize the need to get married before having children, or else they are susceptible to social censure and pressure. This concept has created a certain obstacle to modern society.

2. Pressure from the social environment: When recruiting, some companies may take into account that unmarried pregnant employees may need maternity leave or more time to take care of their children, which may increase the cost and risk of the company.

3. Sexism: There may also be an element of sexism in this phenomenon, which can have a greater impact and pressure on women, while men are rarely criticized in the same way.

The discriminatory phenomenon of unmarried pregnancy not only hurts the self-esteem and rights of the person concerned, but also is not conducive to the progress and development of society. We should adopt correct attitudes and measures to eliminate the effects of this social phenomenon and promote equality and tolerance in society. For example, we should strengthen education and publicity against gender discrimination, promote enterprises to establish sound family-friendly policies and mechanisms, as well as advocate fair and open social values.
