A Study of Women's Access to Higher Education in Rural and Urban China
Summary. This study surveyed fifty colleges across ten Chinese provinces to examine gender disparities in higher education access between rural and urban areas. The researchers found that while overall urban-rural gaps in women's college enrollment are substantial, public institutions show minimal disparities. Private colleges display much wider gaps. The analysis reveals that socioeconomic status significantly influences these disparities in women's educational access.
