Shanghai's family-planning association will offer professional training to women from low-income families and consultations on family planning amid its campaign to aid more about women. 

 

The move directly aims to improve women’s capabilities at work.

 

The association will also support low-income families who have only one child, promote resources to prevent AIDS and launch more international cooperation on women’s health, said Shanghai Vice-Mayor Zuo Huancheng yesterday, who is also the director of the city’s family-planning association.

 

Family-planning departments will be set up in neighborhoods, companies and markets where the migrant population gathers to better regulate the management.
