From 1982 to 2007, the government of China attached great importance to gender equality and formulated the China Women's Development Program (200 1-20 10), the goal of which was further emphasized in the 11th Five-Year Development Plan. At the same time, the Government of China has earnestly fulfilled its commitment to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. In recent years, the government of China has attached great importance to gender statistics. China the State Council document 2006 1 emphasized the strengthening of gender statistics. The document also lists 64 gender data indicators that need to be counted, and designates the National Bureau of Statistics to improve the establishment of gender statistics reporting system and database. Long before the publication of this document, the National Women's Association and other institutions began to study gender statistics and published many important documents.

However, China still needs further efforts in gender statistics. By 2007, gender inequality existed in many social problems in China, involving employment, education, social security and other basic fields. However, the imperfection of gender statistics is not conducive to the analysis of the above problems in China. To this end, the United Nations Population Fund and the United Nations Children's Fund will further support institutions in China to study gender and women's development issues.

Gender statistics is a statistical method to analyze and study social and economic development and changes, and it is also statistical data classified by sex. It can "sensitively" reflect the situation, progress and existing problems of men and women at all levels of society, and it is also a measure of the status, power, role and development of both sexes in social and economic development. Establishing and perfecting the working system of gender statistics is of great significance to promoting the healthy development of women and children and gender equality.
