World Bank Income Classification:Low Income
The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations.
Least Developed Country:Yes
Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability.
Gender Inequality Index:0.575
GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.
Gender Development Index:0.723
GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

People’s lives in China are improved further as headway is made in ensuring access to childcare, education, healthcare services, elderly care, housing, and social assistance, and more people in China, including left-behind groups, benefit from equitable and public services and social protection systems as well as accelerated efforts to reduce gender inequality and other forms of social inequality throughout the life-course.
CGF’s outcome is that national stakeholders have more national/local legislation/action plans on gender equality or incorporate gender equality into their legislation/action plan, so as to ensure people’s lives in China are improved, especially in the newly emerged field, which is in line with the SP-D-1.2: More national and local plans and budget are gender-responsive. The national/local legislation/action plan include the national gender mainstreaming standards in philanthropy work in China, and the provincial/regional gender mainstreaming guidelines in AI industry etc.

Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change.

UN Women China continues to contribute to gender equality in education and philanthropy through gender-responsive governance. Under the UN Women China Gender Fund (CGF) funded project of “Education equality promotion project for Dongxiang girls in Dongxiang County, Gansu Province” implemented by Gansu Xing Bang Social Work Serving Center, a “red title order”, typical of a local regulation was issued and sent on 19th November 2021 by Education Bureau to all schools in Dongxiang County to ensure ethnic minority girls’ have equal rights in education and promote gender equality in the education system. The Order will impact 37,300 girls of the Dongxiang ethnic minority, responding to the fact that such girls tend to face more barriers to education at both the family and school levels. The red title order contains provisions for girls' equal access to primary and high school education, and those facing family financial difficulties, among others. In addition, the red title order has also required all schools in Dongxian to incorporate gender equality into their curriculum, which allows 76,200 Dongxiang boys and girls in the country to receive gender equality education, because the order has also g UN Women provided technical and grant support, including organizing consultations and dialogues, for CEDAW capacity development and drafting of the local regulation. The Gender Mainstreaming Guidelines in Philanthropy were developed under the “Mainstream Gender Equality Perspective into China’s Philanthropy” project implemented by China Association for NGO Cooperation (CANGO) and issued by CANGO on 23rd November 2021. It was the first-ever gender equality guidelines developed in the philanthropy sector, which is expected to be referenced by all foundations and CSOs to guide their programming and internal governance. The guidelines were welcomed by CSOs. As a result, 43 CSOs in China made a joint commitment to follow these guidelines in their work and integrate a gender perspective in philanthropy and charitable assistance in China, increasing efforts towards gender equality and empowerment of women in country programming. 118 CSO partners were mobilized to address gender equality in their programming with the joint effort of UN Women and its CGF partners Gansu XingBang Social Work Serving Center, CANGO, Shaanxi Research Association for Women and Family, and Sanjiangyuan Environmental Protection Center. The CSOs were mobilized and equipped with the capacity and tools to advocate for women’s rights and gender equality in their programming and internal governance.Disclaimer and notes
