Income gap between the sexes widening

Survey reveals gender inequality in job market

The income gap between men and women in China is growing partly because of gender inequality, particularly in the job market, according to a survey.

In 2010, urban women's income was 67.3 percent that of men's and rural women's income was 56 percent that of their male counterparts, the survey found. The ratios were 77.5 percent and 79 percent in 1990.
