From the Paper:

"International headlines, especially in the West, often refer to the one-child policy in China. These headlines can give the impression that women in China experience great discrimination. However, it can be shown that such a perception is incorrect, and is in fact contradicted by the facts, once we undertake some anthropological research. In fact, such research shows that there has been a very beneficial transformation in the status of Chinese women in recent years. This transformation has mainly been apparent in the areas of education, marriage, employment and the family."
