Abstract

There is a tremendous disparity in children’s education in rural and urban China, and the biggest contributor to this phenomenon is gender inequality - a major issue that needs to be addressed in Chinese society. In this thesis statement, we found that the causes of gender inequality are incredibly complicated, and in some cases, deeply rooted in perceptions. We have assembled a collection of articles on this topic from various academic websites and made an overview. The paper is composed of three parts: Firstly, analysis of the causes of the current situation. Secondly, analysis of the present state of education in China from the perspective of gender inequality: rural-urban situation and data analysis. Last, three possible solutions and role analysis. We aim to help the public appreciate the importance of access to education, to raise awareness of the extent to which people value their children’s education, and to improve, to some degree, the regional educational inequalities caused by gender inequality.
