Chairwoman and CEO of Deloitte Vietnam, Ms. Ha Thi Thu Thanh, said in the report that over the past 25 years, after the Law on Enterprises came into effect, women-owned businesses have grown rapidly. Deloitte predicted that the proportion of women on executive boards in Vietnam will increase to 35 per cent by 2020.
The report also said that the percentage of women leaders in Asia remains low, only higher than Latin America, with an average of 7.8 per cent. Japan and South Korea rank at the bottom, with 3.5 per cent and 4.1 per cent, respectively. Europe has the highest ratio, with women representing 22.8 per cent of board members.
