Vietnam: Women and Leadership
The barriers for women in leadership are still many. Barriers include that women are still doing most of the housework leaving less time for career development. Furthermore, the lower retirement age for women (55 compared to 60 for men) compress the period of time women have to gain experience and qualifications necessary to advance to senior positions. International experience shows that gender equality is a win-win for development and for business and that it is indeed possible to change things and to get more women into leadership positions.
What can Vietnam learn from international good practice to promote gender equality in leadership? How can we promote positive images of female leaders in Vietnam? How can girls and young women be prepared for their future leader positions? What are opportunities for women to climb up to higher ladders in their careers?
