*_Hey all, before you hit snooze, let’s check out some cool stats!_*📊✨
Did you know that Malaysia is making some serious progress in closing the gender gap in the workforce? This infographic from *Khazanah Research Institute* breaks it down for us:
1️⃣ *More Women Are Working*
• In 2023, 56.2% of women were part of the labour force—way up from 37.2% in 1970. That means more women are out there making moves!
2️⃣ *Fewer Women in Vulnerable Jobs*
• Fewer women are stuck in unstable jobs like own-account workers (self-employed with no employees) and unpaid family workers. This means better job security and financial independence!
3️⃣ *The Gender Wage Gap is Shrinking*
• Good news! The wage gap has dropped from 8.9% in 2010 to 3.7% in 2022. Women are earning closer to what they truly deserve!
4️⃣ *More Women in Skilled Jobs*
• Women now hold 37.8% of skilled positions, proving that more of us are stepping into high-value careers.
