KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 27 (Bernama) — The Department of Statistics Malaysia’s recent data reveals that the female labour force participation rate stood at a mere 56.2 per cent in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 82.8 per cent male labour force participation rate, demonstrating the gender disparity within the Malaysian workforce.
In response to the continuing gender imbalance, Talent Corporation Malaysia Berhad (TalentCorp) is taking a proactive position by organising the Women Career Convention (WCC) 2023, which was held on 21 October 2023. The WCC strives to empower women to achieve their professional goals while creating a workplace that values diversity and inclusion.
