The role of women in business has been a passionate debate worldwide. Along with the Time’s up movement, more and more women are looking to get into business, even in male-dominated fields such as STEM fields. Vietnam currently has one of the highest female labor-force participation rates in the world (according to the Economist) and ranks second in the number of women in senior management among Asian countries (quoted from Grant Thornton’s research) surpassing larger economies such as Japan or Singapore.
