Migrant construction workers watch an open air movie near their dormitories after a shift at a residential construction site in Shanghai July 15, 2013. The construction site is among a new developing residential area located in Jiading district of suburban Shanghai, some 30 kilometres from the city centre. According to data from the World Bank, 68 percent of China's female population aged 15 and above participate in the labour force, compared to 58 percent in the United States, 51 percent in France, and 53 percent in Germany. Around a third of China's millions of rural-urban migrant workers are women and according to an academic paper published 2010, they also earn around a third less than their male equivalents.

Secondo l’ONU in Cina lavora circa il 68 per cento delle donne, contro il 58 per cento degli Stati Uniti e il 53 per cento della Germania. Moltissime donne lavorano come operai stagionali nelle grandi città, per esempio nei cantieri edili: è stato stimato che un lavoratore stagionale su tre è donna, e che in quel caso arriva a essere pagata fino a tre volte di meno rispetto ai colleghi maschi. Aly Song di Reuters ha recentemente visitato un grosso cantiere edile alla periferia di Shanghai.
