Under the dual background of demographic transition and intensified competition in the workplace, the contradiction between women's fertility and career development has become increasingly prominent, which has become an important issue related to social livelihood and labor market efficiency. This paper focuses on the relationship between female fertility dilemma and workplace competitiveness and focuses on the mechanism and breakthrough path of fertility punishment. It is found that the female reproductive dilemma is the result of the structural mechanism. Through the chain of "feminization of care responsibility-fragmentation of time and energy-career interruption and loss of human capital-job marginalization and evaluation bias-long-term income and promotion loss", the female workplace competitiveness is systematically damaged, which is embodied in four dilemmas: physiological health pressure, family care burden, blocked career development and rising economic pressure. The causes involve cultural inertia, institutional supply, enterprise management and family consultation mechanism. The research points out that the government-led risk socialization, enterprise-driven organizational model transformation and family participation responsibility should be combined to form a multi-party force. The research in this paper provides theoretical support and practical guidance for cracking female reproductive punishment, promoting gender equality and sustainable development of labor market, and is of great significance for optimizing people's livelihood security and releasing human capital potential.
