The survey has been conducted in Hong Kong and six Southeast Asia countries by market research company iPrice Group. This figure was lower than that of Hong Kong (55 percent) but higher than that of Thailand (44 percent), the Philippines (39 percent) and three other Southeast Asian countries, showed the survey. Vietnam’s figure has improved from 37 percent in 2018. In Southeast Asia, however, there is still a gender gap in top positions.
