Female students get help to start business

BEIJING - Female college students in China will receive more policy and financial support from the government to promote entrepreneurship, according to the All-China Women's Federation.

"A three-month program to encourage female college students to follow through on their ideas and set up in business has been launched," Song Xiuyan, the federation's vice-president, said last week.

She said that small-business loans will be among the resources offered to participants.
