Women account for nearly 52 per cent of the workforce in the service sector, 50 per cent in the agricultural and fisheries sector and 37 per cent in industry and construction. Almost a quarter of all companies are run by women, many of whom are also the driving forces behind them. As for their status in the family, Hang says that women’s position has improved remarkably. ‘We jointly decide important issues in our life, such as work or education for our children. My husband always respects my opinions.’
