Suggestions for further improvement

For the brief introduction/summary of the demographic statistics associated with gender, which is the part under the "Gender Inequality" section, the statistics are not updated and it would be very appreciated if someone could help update that. The statistics data can probably be found on the official Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department's website. The following are the possible links: Hong Kong 2011 Population Census ; Women and Men in Hong Kong: Key Statistics (2012 version)
I have added some basic information on the education and career attainment section, yet more information & edit work are needed
New sections regarding the ageing issue, marriage, crimes against women in Hong Kong, health concerns, etc. should be included in the encyclopedia as well so as to cover all perspectives and developments that are important, and that could help general audience to understand Hong Kong women in a comprehensive view

Asking for ideas of improvement

Hi everyone! I am currently working on a "Wikipedia Edit" project, and would like to use this page as my edit page. Would it be a problem? If not, are there any suggestions on any improvement for this article at the moment? Or are there any suggestions for new themes I should introduce to this article? I have some ideas on my mind for the new themes of this article, but not sure if they are okay. I suggest adding new sections of education and labour force participation of women in Hong Kong; status/role of Hong Kong women; women cultural tradition in Hong Kong; history; sexuality; Hong Kong women and health, etc. , in order to provide a broader and more in-depth women studies in Hong Kong. I would probably edit the summary and adding one particular theme in these few days. As a Wikipedia beginner, I might make some mistakes when editing the article. So, please feel free to correct me and give suggestions on my editing work! I would really appreciate it. Thanks! Katyyeung (talk) 00:35, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
