In some ways women's lives in China have improved. Provide three examples of positive signs. 

For example:
  • More women than ever are educated and work outside the home
  • The marketplace has opened up which allows women to engage in commercial activities on their own account and to earn incomes directly paid to them (instead of the household head). 
  • Greater opportunities for occupational and residential choice.
  • Improved women's life expectancies due to improved health care.

In which respects can women's positions in China still be improved. Provide three examples.

For example:
  • Still only men are allowed to retain control of village politics and resources. Men also dominate in politics on a national level. 
  • Women don't have effective individual rights to land
  • Despite improved education, gender differences in type of occupation and level of remuneration remain significant.
  • Women who act independently in the labor- marriage- and sexual- market need effective legal protection against the resurgence of coercive practices.

What might help women to obtain greater legal protection?

Using public communication (letters, Internet, broadcast media, telephones) to inform others when their rights are violated (which is possible due to improved communication systems and female education).
