Accordingly, female politicians and entrepreneurs discussed the world
economic situation, and the advantages and disadvantages of the 4th science

country; sharing policies in support of women in balancing work and life;
raising social awareness on the role and ability of women; encouraging men to
join housework with women; increasing the participation of women in coping with
ageing economies; and suggesting solutions to narrow the gender gap.

life. Vietnam’s efforts in ensuring women’s progress were appreciated by
international friends, as it was ranked among the top five countries reporting
the highest rate of women leaders and managers in businesses in the Asia -
Pacific region./.
