Gender bias diminishing fast in e-commerce delivery sector

Female employees are playing an important role in China's online grocery and delivery sector, thanks to the ongoing consumption upgrade and accelerated integration of online and offline retail scenarios.

Mao Xiuju, 40, who has been working in US-based retail giant Walmart Inc for 16 years, keeps updating her e-commerce knowledge, as the popularity of online shopping brings about new changes to conventional retailers.

"I joined Walmart in 2003, and was in charge of tobacco and alcohol sales, customer services and also took up several other positions. In October 2016, I was transferred to the e-commerce department of a Walmart store on the Jianguo Road in Beijing."
