闪孕 (shan3 yun4)

　　quick pregnancy

　　It refers to some white-collar women who get pregnant in a hurry to avoid being fired. China’s labor law prevents a company from firing a pregnant employee unless the company isinsolvent.

　　闪孕，即突击怀孕、将“生子计划”提前，是一些白领为躲避经济危机中的裁员风险，突击怀孕。根据劳动法规定：女员工在孕期、产期、哺乳期间如果被裁，可以申请劳动仲裁，要求单位经济补偿。这就是职场女性突击怀孕的最大理由。
