Overview

As society continues to evolve, the role and capabilities of women are being increasingly recognized in all aspects of social life. Women are now present in a wide range of professions and fields. Their involvement in political activities and leadership roles is a crucial factor in advancing the status of women in modern society. In recent years, Vietnam has consistently ranked among the top 10 countries in the world for the proportion of women in senior leadership positions in enterprises. In 2021, our country’s index was 39%, ranking 3rd in the world and 2nd in the Asia-Pacific region (after the Philippines). In 2022 and 2023, it decreased to 33% and 34%, respectively, remaining higher than the average for the Asia-Pacific region and the world.

The Grant Thornton report is a highly regarded international study that is published annually. According to the report, by 2023, the majority of leadership positions in Vietnamese businesses will be held by women, with 61% of these positions being human resources directors and 44% being finance directors.
