A prominent economist at the Chinese University of Hong Kong has apologised after he analysed women “marrying for money” in a talk on campus that led students to accuse him of making gender-biased remarks.
The backlash erupted shortly after Terence Chong Tai-leung, an associate professor of economics, delivered his talk about how to invest in one’s life at the university’s bi-weekly assembly on Tuesday.
According to posts on social media platform Threads, slides presented by Chong included one titled “Economics of Partner Choice” that contained the heading: “The Cost-Benefit Analysis of Women Marrying for Money.”
The content sparked outrage among students, who accused the academic of reducing women’s partner criteria to purely material gain, with critics slamming the framing as gender-biased, objectifying and unfair.
