INDEPENDENT.CO.UK - Jan 23 - Two companies in China are giving single female employees over the age of 30 an extra eight days of annual "dating leave" over the Chinese New Year to "go home and date". Single women in China in their late 20s and early 30s are deemed to be "leftover women," or shengnu, due to engrained traditional beliefs that women who are not married by then are undesirable. But more women are now choosing to focus on their careers and are marrying later or simply not marrying at all.
