Thailand remains one of top three in region 
By  THE NATION

 

BANGKOK: -- COINCIDING with International Women’s Day today, a report based on Grant Thornton’s annual survey of 5,500 businesses in 36 economies reveals that the proportion of senior business roles held by women in the Asia-Pacific region has risen from 23 per cent in 2016 to 25 per cent so far this year.

 

This has been driven by improvements in emerging countries in the region, which saw the proportion of senior roles held by women rise from 26 per cent in 2016 to 29 per cent in 2017, while in developed countries the proportion remained static at 13 per cent.

 

However, the survey also revealed that the proportion of businesses with no women in senior management across the Asia-Pacific region had also risen, from 31 per cent in 2016 to 35 per cent so far this year.

 

In Thailand, women now hold 31 per cent of senior roles, making it is one of the top three countries in the region after Indonesia (46 per cent) and the Philippines (40 per cent).

That is excellent news and shows when it comes to sex equality in Thailand it is up there amongst the best.  Statistically then, based on those figures and the assumption that females have the equivalent opportunity in Thailand in all areas, it should be around 2028 when a woman leads a coup perhaps in Thailand ?

First Asian country to have a female ex pm to be reinstated in the role perhaps? 

Congrats, amazingly idiotic headline ...

First check DBD, so you know the companies with female senior management, than make a list for the survey, and guess what, your survey reveals that more women holding a senior management position...

Thainess at is best....

Remember this is a country where people buy positions. Nothing to do with equity, just corruption.

About an overall 1% improvement - wow

There should be a holiday for this achievement!

Call it Day Women Continue to be Insignificant

Reading the headline I thought Thailand plunged 2 ranks in the list of domestic violence.
