Women's share of the labour force is increasing worldwide and today, women's participation rate in the labour force is over 40 per cent of the global workforce. There is some evidence that women in some Asian countries may be less marginalized in their advancement into top managerial positions than their counterparts elsewhere. As women become more educated and qualified for managerial positions, the number of Asian women managers and executives is predicted to rise over the next decade. This book examines the opportunities and barriers for women managers in Asia and presents an update on their progress in management. This is a special issue of the journal "Asia Pacific Business Review".
