🎉 Hey there! On Monday, Beijing hosted the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women, where Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote reaffirming China's commitment to advancing gender equality—both at home and abroad.
Xi reminded everyone that women are the creative force behind culture and progress. And China's numbers speak volumes:
- Workforce power: Women make up about 43% of the employed workforce and nearly 46% of scientific and technical roles. 🚀
- New economy: Around 30% of jobs in emerging industries are held by women. 🔥
- Health milestone: Maternal mortality dropped by nearly 80% since 1995, now just 14.3 per 100,000 lives saved. 🏥
- Poverty victory: All 690 million women lifted out of poverty, hitting the UN's "No poverty" goal ahead of schedule. 🌍💰
These strides come from decades of bold policies, social innovation, and global cooperation to empower women and foster all-around development. From labs to startups and villages to cities, China's blueprint shows what's possible when vision meets action.
For students, entrepreneurs, and curious minds alike, this story is a powerful reminder: investing in women means investing in our collective future. 💡✨
Stay tuned for more updates on how policy and passion can shape a brighter tomorrow! 🚀
