Over the last few years, China has made significant progress in promoting gender equality and empowerment for women, driven by government policies, social and cultural shifts, and the efforts of organisations to diversify their teams.
In addition, the number of women in leadership positions in China has steadily increased over the past few years. As a result, in 2020, the proportion of women in senior management positions in Chinese companies reached 8.5%. This number increased from 25.9% in 2015, according to a report by the National Bureau of Statistics of China.
A high-ranking member of the Chinese government has emphasised the importance of women in China’s development, stating, “Women are an integral part of China’s development, and their contributions are crucial to our success. We must continue to work together to create a more inclusive and equitable society, where all individuals are allowed to succeed.”
Although it is essential to recognise China’s progress, there are still many areas where women face discrimination, including education, employment, and healthcare. While Kinyu Supply Chain Management always promotes gender equality in the workplace, we want to increase these efforts over the next year. By empowering the female members of our team, we hope to do our part and work towards a more inclusive and equal society. Want to know more about Kinyu and our Inclusivity and Diversity policies?
