This paper argues that urban Chinese women hold up more than just half the sky and that the women of Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou are very much empowered and career driven than what many may think. However the link between the rise of economy and women empowerment in urban China is something scholars need yet to delve into. Thus this research paper will argue that due to the opportunities working at international companies, Chinese female white-collar workers are more focused on their careers and are becoming more independent. Which leads to a societal change; empowering women and fighting against the concept of ‘leftover women’1. With the rise of the Chinese female white-collar workers, it is beneficial and important for international companies in China to emphasize the importance of women empowerment without creating a gender imbalance.Show less
