Women in Modern Day China

Women in modern day China enjoy a lot more liberty than their ancestors did, but there are still many problems that modern women face.

  • The pressure to be married (specifically before thirty)
  • Rural women are treated like second class citizens
  • Women commit suicide at a higher rate than men (this is the only country in the world where this happens)
  • Hiring and work place discrimination (less valued than men, being dismissed for giving birth, having to meet ideal western beauty standards, etc.) 
  • Mostly women of the upper-class are the ones who have the luxury of breaking gender roles
