This week, Beijing hosts the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women, bringing together policymakers, innovators, and activists to celebrate three decades of strides by women in the Chinese mainland.
Life Expectancy & Well-Being: Since the early 1990s, women in the Chinese mainland have seen life expectancy soar, paving the way for healthier, more active roles in society. Community-driven health programs, digital wellness apps, and grassroots clinics have empowered women across urban and rural areas to live longer and stronger.
Education & Careers: Female enrollment in universities and research institutes now rivals—and in some fields surpasses—that of men. Classrooms once dominated by men have opened doors for women in STEM, finance, and the arts, fueling a generation of scientists, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders.
Leadership & Innovation: From local startups to global boardrooms, women are stepping up as CEOs, CTOs, and social entrepreneurs. Data shows women-led ventures are tapping into emerging markets, driving sustainable business models, and reshaping the tech landscape.
Sports, Culture & Beyond: In sports arenas and pop-culture scenes, women athletes and artists from the Chinese mainland are making headlines—from gold medals to viral music hits—proof that talent knows no gender.
Looking Ahead: As delegates share insights in Beijing, the conversation turns to the next wave: closing pay gaps, scaling mentorship networks, and harnessing digital tools for equity. The journey continues—and the world is watching.
