The study said that in 20 years, the income of Chinese women in urban areas is now greater than that of men.

In 20 years, the income of urban women in China dropped from 77% of male income to 67.3%.

Need to continue to eliminate the development of "ceiling"

The rapid development of the Chinese economy in 20 years may make most Chinese women feel that their income has grown rapidly. However, in fact, in the 20 years, the average income level of women has shown a huge decline compared with men. Julie Broussard, a national program manager of the United Nations Women's Department in China, revealed the results of this new study when he spoke at the China-Europe Business School.

At the China Women Leadership Forum held this time, Tang Zhuli said that in 1990, the income of women in Chinese cities was 77% of that of men, and that of rural women was 79% of men's income. But today we found this ratio. To become even lower, in urban areas, women’s income accounts for only 67.3% of men’s income, and rural women’s income only accounts for 56% of men’s income.

Interestingly, Li Xiujuan, a professor from the China-EU Business School abroad, revealed that in fact, the percentage of female employment in China is high worldwide, reaching 70%. The number of female entrepreneurs in China reached 29 million. In developed countries, the male employment rate is 83%, and the female employment rate is only 64%.

Tang Zhuli analyzed that ten years ago, the traditional family structure was still adopted everywhere in the world, and women were responsible for taking children at home. Now women all over the world have broken the traditional framework and are willing to leave their homes to look for external work. However, women in the world still face many obstacles in the process of employment. Statistics from foreign labor organizations show that in 110 industries, women only work in 12 industries. In 2010, 3% of CEO positions were women, and only 15% of board members were among the Fortune 500 companies. Of the approximately 120 state-owned enterprises in China, only one company is headed by women. "This means that Chinese women have not really broken the ceiling of their personal development. Business is still the world of men."

The employment rate of women is closely related to economic development. In Asia, 45% of women still have no job, and men's unemployment rate is only 19%. A report issued by the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank recently showed that there are gender inequality in employment in Asia, and Asia has to pay as much as 47 billion U.S. dollars per year. Statistics in the Eurozone, Japan, and the USA have found that if they can Women provide more employment opportunities, and their GDP can be increased by 13%, 16% and 9% respectively.

The survey also found that in some companies, if women are involved in high-level management, it is beneficial for companies to create more profits. For example, among the Fortune 500 companies, the top 25 companies are women among their management. The proportion is also high, which has brought greater contribution to the company's main income including profit.

Li Xiujuan believes that although women’s education is getting higher and higher, women’s executives do not always exceed 20%. She believes that in addition to the traditional discrimination against women, women often lack confidence in their career development and often delineate psychological ceilings. This concept has prevented many Chinese women from correctly recognizing their own advantages and cannot be related to social relations. Clear your place.
