Women are making significant progress in the workplace in China, according to a new report.

根据一份最新报告显示，中国女性在职场取得了显著的进步。

In China last year, women held 44% of senior management roles in companies, according to the report released by LinkedIn, a US-based professional networking website.

The report, based on employee surveys, also showed women represented 35% of those who reach the chief executive suite¹.

这份基于员工调查的报告还显示，管理层中的女性比例达35%。

In several fields, including education and nonprofit organizations, women hold 47 percent of jobs at director level or above, while in the traditionally male-dominated field of science and technology, the number of women in senior posts has increased by 18 percent since 2008.

在包括教育和非盈利组织等多个领域里，董事或以上职位女性占比达到了47%，而在科学技术等传统由男性占主导地位的领域里，自从2008年以来高级职位女性的数量增长了18%。

However, the report said an imbalance remains² in many industries, including finance and consumer goods manufacturing, with male executives still far outnumbering their female counterparts.

不过，该报告指出，在包括金融和消费品制造业等许多行业，不平衡仍然存在，男性高管的数量仍然远多于女性。

In these sectors³, women also spend more time than men at each level before being promoted to a senior position.

在这些行业中，每个等级的女性，要花费比男性更多的时间才能晋升到一个高级的职位。
