Abstract

China is changing dramatically from a tightly controlled communist regime, established in October 1949 when the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was declared in Beijing, to a much more laissez-faire giant pursuing ‘socialism with Chinese characteristics’, a process that started in 1978 with the ‘open door’ policy of economic reform (Wen and Tisdell, 2001). While it is generally agreed that women’s social status improves when a society becomes more affluent, as in China, whether the gap in career opportunities between male and female remains, needs to be explored.
