More well-educated women than those with a low education say they feel they are under great pressure. In a recent survey conducted by the Kowloon Women's Organisations Federation, about 40 per cent of tertiary-educated women and 33 per cent of women in their thirties said they felt like they were under either 'quite great' or 'immense' pressure. This compared to 22 per cent of women with a primary education or less. But the women's group said this could be because less-educated women are less willing to talk about their problems. The survey, conducted last September, involved 553 women aged 30 to 59. A spokeswoman for the federation said young, well-educated women mostly faced pressure from work and families. 'The pressure doesn't come from just the shortage of resources, but the challenge of multi-roles faced by modern women,' she said. But women who are less well-off tend to gloss over or cover up their difficulties, the federation official said.
