Summary

The article discusses the lack of progress in gender diversity in Asian boardrooms, with only an average of 20% of boardrooms being made up of women. Despite increased reporting and transparency, the gap between men and women in terms of employment, wages, and boardroom representation remains large. MSCI predicts that it may take until 2038 for women to reach equal representation in boardrooms. However, there has been an increase in the number of female CEOs and CFOs in the region.
