KR: Women of china 90% educated; and Kerala also has that percentage then why China?. "An amendment <http://www.npc.gov.cn/npc/c30834/202210/d80092ae46b24946b30b3a880c2f2be5.shtml> to the Women’s Rights and Interests Protection Law passed by the nation’s top legislative body on Sunday introduced a list of moral standards for women to observe. “Women should respect and obey national laws, respect social morals, professional ethics and family values,” according to the law’s opening chapter, which outlines the overarching principles of the revised legislation. It will be adopted from 2023. As China grapples with record-low birth rates and plummeting marriage numbers, women are coming under pressure <https://fortune.com/2022/01/07/china-covid-cases-miscarriage-xian-lockdown/> to revert to traditional caregiver roles. President Xi Jinping said <http://cpc.people.com.cn/n1/2020/0722/c64094-31792580.html>it was crucial for women to be “good wives and mothers” to ensure the “healthy growth of the next generation” in a 2013 speech. “China is attempting to use laws to regulate and discipline women,” said Xiaowen Liang, a New York-based feminist and lawyer. “Why do you only need women to observe family values? What kind of family values are we talking about? These are very vague ideas.” Women were excluded from China’s top-decision making Politburo for the first time in a quarter century last month, at a key leadership reshuffle where Xi promoted a slew of male allies, marking a major step back for gender equality in the nation.
