Gender equality has always been a major concern and an important part of human rights protection worldwide. It is not only about ensuring equal rights, opportunities, and treatment for men and women, but also about changing social perceptions of the roles and values of each gender in society (Nguyen Thanh Nien 2023, 1-4). The issue of gender equality in today's society is to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of people based on their gender characteristics throughout their lives. These include regulations and welfare policies for female workers during pregnancy and postpartum. In this article, the authors focus on analyzing the specific legal regulations for female workers in order to ensure the legitimate benefits for female workers who are pregnant and raising children during pregnancy and postpartum, thereby pointing out the shortcomings of the law and proposing solutions to contribute to the improvement of the law on gender equality in labor.
