According to a survey conducted by Ipsos on predictions for global issues in 2020, 61 percent of Chinese believed that it was likely that women would be paid the same amount as men for the same work in 2020. China was one of the most optimistic among all the countries surveyed about closing the gender pay gap in 2020. Should the gender pay gap be closed in China, it would depend on people's support and attitudes towards the push for gender equality.
