Investigating The Relationship Between Gender And Social Entrepreneurship, With A Focus On Women's Leadership, Employment, And Participation Within The Context Of Southeast Asian Culture.
Abstract
In both the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Community Vision 2025 of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), there is a significant focus put on the achievement of gender parity and the empowerment of women. They are essential in order to make the region a more welcoming place for people of all backgrounds and identities. It is feasible to improve women's well-being and make it possible for them to contribute to the progress and inclusivity of an area by providing them with equal access to positions of decision-making authority and leadership when they are given equal access to these positions. Additionally, this can be of assistance in ensuring that women are included in the process of decision-making.
A new generation of women leaders in ASEAN has to be formed; yet, the data that is now available reveals that a substantial amount of further development is still required to achieve this objective. This information sheet takes a look at the current situation of women who hold leadership positions in organisations that are associated with ASEAN and, with the use of official statistics, identifies the major areas in which advancement is required.
