Study: Culturally, men favoured over women for positions in Asia


KUALA LUMPUR: Culturally, in Asia, men are openly favoured for positions of power, while women rarely become successors to family-owned businesses or chief executive officers (CEO) in Asian organisations, notes the Towers Watson 2012 Global Workforce Study.

In a statement made available to Bernama Friday, Towers Watson said a 2011 Grant Thornton International Business Report showed that the global proportion of women in senior management last year, was virtually unchanged from 2004.
