With the founding of the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Right (AICHR) and its operation during the last ten years, the question lingers as to what extent this body can continue to work.

The call for a stronger AICHR is quite reasonable, given that the human rights issues in Southeast Asia are severe enough to warrant action.

This situation created difficulty in reaching agreements on the establishment of the AICHR, and when the consensus was achieved, the Commission was given weak authority in implementing human rights.

The ASEAN region is one of the most economically dynamic regions in the world.

While overall trade is expanding both intra-ASEAN and extra-ASEAN, the value of women’s share of exports has remained more or less constant.

The share of highly skilled sectors (such as automotives and electronics) in ASEAN economies are increasing, whereas sectors where women dominate the workforce such agriculture and garments are relatively stagnant.

across all sectors, women’s economic roles are the ones that involve lower skills and on average, lower pay.

Female labor force participation rates are persistently lower than men across
all ASEAN Member States.

While the gap may have shrunk in some countries, it has widened in others. Overall, significantly fewer women than men are participating in the
work force in the ASEAN.

More women are employed in lower skilled and lower paying jobs than men,
resulting in a persistent and high gender wage gap.

Duncan 15/9/20 21:56

This gender gap is not only apparent in the lower absolute numbers of women in the work force, but also in the types of jobs that women perform.

It is not surprising that there is a persistent gender wage gap.

Wilson Pit 15/9/20 22:03

If women are not finding employment in highly skilled and highly paying jobs, then there is little scope for increasing their income.

Majority of women are employed in vulnerable sectors with limited access to benefits and social protection.

Gender gaps in education declined but education attainment for women
continue to lag those of men.

16
Kevin Evans 15/9/20 22:06

Education attainment, especially higher education and skills training are key to women accessing higher paying employment opportunities.

17

Large numbers of highly educated women remain unemployed.

All ASEAN Member States provide constitutional equality between men and
women. However, the presence and recognition of customary laws in some countries creates legal barriers to women’s rights and participation.

Limited effectiveness of gender mainstreaming.

Women are disadvantaged in acquiring land and assets by a lack of information and discriminatory laws.
