China can and must close its gender gap - Forum:Blog Forum:Blog | The World Economic Forum
China
In the World Economic Forum Global Gender Gap Report 2013, China was
ranked 69th overall out of the 139 countries surveyed. Though ahead,
interestingly, of such countries as Italy, Greece, Chile and Japan,
there is clearly still some way to go. Here in China, we know that very
clearly.
Though Chinese women have improved their position in
some indices, such as political empowerment as a result of contemporary
politics, they are still losing out in categories such as health,
educational attainment and wage equality.
