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.
National and Local Service providers, CSOs are better able to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls and are more efficient to deliver essential services to Gender-based violence survivors jointly. Public sectors are better able to advocate for zero-tolerance towards violence against women and girls.

Women, girls men and boys including influencers have enhanced awareness and understanding-and are mor moblized in favor of respectful relationships, healthy social norms and the promotion of gender equality
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. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.

Progress was made in the prevention and response of gender-based violence (GBV) for the implementation of the Anti-Domestic Law in China. Progress includes the capacity development of service providers and building public awareness of zero-tolerance of GBV. There were some delays in the development of Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs) on GBV essential services due to partnership building and COVID-19 restrictions. In 2021, a variety of service providers were brought together to discuss how to set up guidelines and strengthen the essential services for women and girls experiencing GBV. On the prevention side, the general public was mobilized to discuss how to support women and girls experiencing violence and how to prevent violence. UN Women contributed to these achievements through partnership building with the Supreme People's Court, launching the Chinese version of the Essential Service Package to Women and Girls subject to violence (ESP) with key national and local duty bearers, and facilitating the civil society organizations (CSO) consultation workshop on localization and adaptation of ESP social service. The CSOs who joined the consultation are the key leading CSOs serving rural women, women living with HIV/AIDS, LGBTI groups, and women with disabilities experiencing gender-based violence. All of these built a solid foundation for the development of the SOPs and training manual in 2022. ESP, which is jointly developed by UN Women, UNFPA, WHO, UNDP, and UNODC, is listed as a key technical reference for the cooperation with the Supreme People’s Court in China and received great interest from National Working Committee on Children and Women (NWCCW), the key coordination agency for anti-domestic violence in China. In the mobilization of public discussion and public awareness raising, UN Women contributed through male engagement in ending violence against women for the 16 Days Campaign. In the 16 Days Campaign, UN Women played a lead role and adopted a creative strategy to engage different partners, including UN agencies, embassies in China, media and platforms, private sectors, CSOs, key opinion leaders, and young people to advocate for male engagement and not being a bystander. UN Women launched two theme videos on main media platforms Weibo, Kuaishou, and WeChat with key messages. In total, the two theme videos have 6 million views. The hashtag “Don’t be a bystander” has 65 million views and ranked among the top 15 hashtags on Weibo. The same topic campaign reached 34.6 million views on Kuaishou. The campaign largely contributed to the public discussion on ending violence against women in China.Disclaimer and notes
