Addressing the gender gap issue has always been a widely debated topic across the world. In a region as culturally diverse as the Southeast Asia, the progression towards gender diversity has been long-drawn out. Through an extensive survey carried out by Boston Consulting Group (BCG), we have Mariam Jaafar, partner and managing director, Leader Women at BCG Southeast Asia to talk about the gender gap in the workforce.
