Gender equality: China will give female scientists priority in recruitment and research funding, provided they meet the mark

China, which aims to become a science and technology powerhouse by 2050, started to address the gender gap in 2011 when the MST and the National Women’s Federation jointly issued a policy to boost the career development of women in science and technology.

Female researchers will be given priority for talent recruitment and research funding grants, provided they are just as good as their male counterparts, according to a recent policy statement by China’s Ministry of Science and Technology (MST).
