Show her the money: report claims 60% of Chinese women control family finances
Chinese women are fully in control of the nation's household purse strings according to a recent report which says that 60 percent control and manage the family finances.
The 2016 Women Financial Management Report, co-published by hexun.com, tongbanjie.com and Alibaba's Ali Research earlier this month, features information on mainland Chinese women's consumption, asset size and financing preferences based on 10,000 valid questionnaires.
In addition to the headline finding, the study also discovered that the more women earn, the greater say they have over the family's financial management. Chinese women were also said to be growing more financially astute.
The results match the expectations Chinese women have for their partners, with a survey carried out by Chinese matchmaking website jiayuan finding that 78 percent expect their partner to hand over their pay slips.
This was, however, at odds with the large number of male respondents with monthly incomes of over 10,000 yuan who would prefer not to.
