In the fields of digital trade, e-commerce, and live content creation, the advantages of full-time mothers in communication, connectivity, and creativity make them more suitable for these jobs. "Experts suggest that in terms of policies, full-time mothers should be encouraged to rely on digital economy platforms for innovation and entrepreneurship; The government should cooperate with digital platforms to strengthen vocational skills training, respond to rapid career changes, and enable full-time mothers to adapt to changes in the workplace; Strengthen the construction of a full-time mother occupational security system for flexible employment forms. Before giving birth, Fan Hao ran his own jewelry store. After getting pregnant, she closed her physical store and became a full-time mother. After her child entered elementary school, Fan Hao wanted to restart her career. However, as the child still needed her care, she expanded her thinking, established a community, and operated old stores on online platforms. Gradually, she won praise from new and old customers with integrity and professionalism. Doing e-commerce online allows for a relatively free time. When children go to school, they can be busy with their own business. While accompanying their children and taking care of their families, they can also have a job to support their families and realize their self-worth. In recent years, with the introduction of the two child and three child policies, due to the emphasis on family education and parent-child companionship, as well as the continuous increase in nanny fees, Many professional women actively or passively return to their families before and after childbirth, forming a growing group of "full-time mothers". Recently, a survey on the current situation of "full-time mothers re employment" released by 51job shows that these full-time mothers have a strong desire to return to the workplace. Nine out of ten full-time mothers surveyed attempted to return to the workplace, while 60% expected flexible working hours. The top three reasons for re employment were "achieving self-worth", "not being disconnected from society", and "alleviating economic burden". In fields such as digital trade, e-commerce, and live content creation, the advantages of full-time mothers in communication, connectivity, and creativity make them more suitable for these jobs, "said Li Yongjian, a researcher at the Institute of Financial Strategy at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The continuous development of the digital economy has created more job opportunities for full-time mothers. Li Yongjian believes that the development of the digital economy has lowered the threshold for entrepreneurial employment, enabling full-time mothers to have the ability to access information without leaving their homes, and enabling them to find entrepreneurial employment opportunities more quickly. At the same time, digital technology also provides a large number of remote work opportunities, allowing full-time mothers to achieve a balance between family and career. Yang Lina has decided to return to the workplace, but she still needs to take care of her child's life and studies. Due to various considerations, she finally chose to work as a part-time accountant. "When she has a job, she helps with bookkeeping at home and doesn't have to clock in at work, so her working hours are relatively flexible." Yang Lina is very satisfied with this, and "she can balance work and life according to her own situation." According to the research report "Frontiers of China's Digital Economy in 2023: Platforms and High Quality Full Employment", digital platforms created about 240 million net jobs in China in 2021, 27% of the total workforce. Among the four batches and 56 new professions released by the government from 2019 to 2022, digital managers, IoT installation and debugging personnel and other professions related to the digital economy accounted for a considerable proportion. The overall increase in job positions has brought new opportunities for full-time mothers to find employment, "said Li Yongjian
