Getting women who have been excluded from or held work in the workforce seems to be a perfect solution. A comprehensive research, titled “Improving Incentives for Women’s Employment”, from The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups looks into this question of what is holding women back from work. GettyMany other countries have experimented with different policies to relieve the care burden of women, especially flexible work and subsidized childcare. Another survey conducted by recruitment firm Hays found that a high proportion of Chinese people found flexible working hours to be important. There is a lot of room for employers in Asia to evolve their attitudes and practices to enable women to work.
