Playing China's gender game 3

Future Success

 

A new survey by the Southwest University of Politics and Laws on the employment of female students indicated 70 percent of girls suffered from gender discrimination. Most people said that companies limit their chances of marrying or having babies.

 

Despite the fear of discrimination, China Talent CEO Frank Mulligan suggests women should concentrate on translating their paper skills into an ability to communicate at work.

 

He says:" The top women are flexible and willing to ask questions about how things different companies work. They have the empathy that men tend no to have. That's what foreign companies are looking for."

 

And there is a reason for women to be hopelful. In 2005, there were 118 boys to every 100 girls born in China, a fact Frank Mulligan sees as being hugely important. He says:"Women will be incredibly in demand. We need a balance in the workplace and companies will have to fight for women. It's already happening."
