Compared with the 1990’s and 2000’s data，the employed women in Hangzhou have a significantly improved in the economic status，political status，educational status，marital status of the family and health status in the past ten years. However，having been affected by the economic transformation and the ongoing market system construction，the employment rate of women in Hangzhou is not high，and the re-employment is still in difficulties. Social status of women within the group has differentiated because of the changes in the employment；the gap among them has been expanding. Contrasted with men who have enjoyed more priority to resources and opportunities，the proportion of men and women in all ranks is in a different tendency. In order to improve the social status of women in the field of occupational structure，it is needed to take measures from policy level and individual level and to resist and eliminate the discrimination and prejudice in the field of employment. When there is friendly social cultural environment for the employment and re-employment of women，it is possible for Hangzhou City to realize the harmonious development among women，economic and society.
