How is the family status of women reflected?

We have told you that the status of women in China is unique in the world. Looking around the world, the status of women in any country is not as high as that in China.

Give two simple facts. First, the issue of bride price. The problem that puzzles many young men in China today is that if you want to marry a wife, you need not only a house, a car, a job and a deposit, but also a large amount of bride price. Some places are 35,000, some places are 654.38+80,000, and some places are even more outrageous, hundreds of thousands.

It costs so much to marry a wife, and you can't afford it like a Buddha when you come back?

The second fact is that in most countries in the world today, whether in Western Europe, the United States or even Japan, after a man and a woman get married, the woman has to change her surname. My old family name is no longer available, and I want to change my husband's name. The same is true in ancient China. We used to say that in ancient China, women didn't even have names. After marriage, you will be called Cai and Wang Lishi. Write your husband's surname in front and your original surname in the back. This is your name.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the status of women in China has been greatly improved. Today, we no longer talk about changing our surnames after marriage, which is rare in many countries in the world.

There is also a more critical factor to prove the improvement of women's status. What is this? The economic strength of the family. Many young couples get married today, and many wedding hosts will ask, who will take care of the money after marriage? I believe that more than 90% of grooms will say: the wife is in charge of money! Every penny I earn in the future will be given to my wife, who is in charge of the family's finances.

Don't think this is a joke. We can ask our relatives and friends. In a family, is it the husband or the wife who holds the financial power? The dominant position of women in China is that most families are women in charge of financial affairs. In addition, this unique phenomenon in China has attracted the interest of many international investigation agencies.

Just two days ago, UBS investors saw a survey report issued. Of course, this survey report is only for high-net-worth high-end women. However, we can also get a glimpse of it. According to the survey report of UBS, 58% of the women surveyed in the world will voluntarily hand over their financial decision-making power to their spouses, which is more than half, while only 14% in China.

49% of the women interviewed in China pay attention to long-term finance, and 37% make financial decisions with their spouses, far higher than the global 23% and 19%.

What do you mean? That is to say, when women in most countries in the world voluntarily hand over the financial power of their families to their spouses and let their husbands become the financial decision makers of this family, more than half of the female families in Chinese mainland are financial decision makers.

This is true for high-net-worth women, especially for middle-class families and ordinary families. It can be said that in many countries today, women are still vassals of men. Although they have been calling for equality between men and women for years, men dominate the economy.

In our country, the status of women has been substantially improved, which can be fully seen from the economic strength of families alone. If you don't believe me, listeners, you can really ask the elders, peers and even the younger generation around you, and ask them whether the wife or the husband is in charge of the financial power.
