society are recognised. The province attached importance to job creation for
female workers, especially those in rural areas. The number of female workers
with new jobs and stable incomes is increasing regularly. There are more
policies to develop and support small- and medium-sized enterprises, which
create favourable conditions and opportunities for women to start and own
businesses in the province.
