Abstract In order to implement the spirit of the Thirteenth Party Congress more fully and in a more penetrating way, last year we conducted an investigation of conditions regarding the cultivation and promotion of women cadres in our province as a whole. According to the results of our investigation, there are 21.851 million women workers in the province, constituting 32.5 percent of the total number of workers in the province as a whole. At the same time, there are 351, 000 women cadres, making up 32.5 percent of the total number of cadres at comparable levels. There are 7, 481 women cadres in leadership positions, making up only 8.4 percent of the number of cadres at that level.
