Survey Reports FY2017:ICT Skills for Girls and Women in Southeast Asia

This report summarises analyses on how governments, foundations and the private sector can increase employment of women in Southeast Asia through the development of mechanisms to support women's ICT skills development. We propose solutions to address both technical and social barriers holding back women's participation in new growth industries. Opening paths to women's employment will be extremely important for sustained economic growth. As countries in Southeast Asia embrace change, we hope that this report will help readers to think about the importance of women's role in industries of the future and stimulate greater efforts to ensure no woman is left behind.
