Vietnam among countries with highest gender equality index globally
The World's Leading Market Research Association (WIN) recently published its annual survey, showing that Vietnam is among the countries with the highest index for gender equality in the world.
In Vietnam, up to 84% of respondents in big cities think the country has achieved gender equality at work and 93% think that there is equality between women and men at home. These are the highest figures recorded in 39 countries participating in this survey.
About 63% of respondents in Vietnam say there is gender equality in politics.
Elsewhere, 70% of the world’s population think that there is equality between the two sexes in the family, and 60% have similar thoughts about gender equality in the workplace.
However, only about half of respondents believe women and men are treated equally in politics. Finland is the country that has the highest percentage of people (86%) perceiving gender equality in politics.
It’s noteworthy that countries with the lowest gender equality index are developed countries such as Japan and Italy. In Japan, only 30% of respondents believe there is equality in the workplace between men and women, and the corresponding figures in politics and at home are 18% and 44% respectively.
The survey was conducted by the end of 2021 in 39 countries, using face-to-face, telephones or online interviews.
In Vietnam, the survey was conducted by Indochina Research with 601 respondents in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Can Tho.
