Addressing The Low Women Participation In Malaysian Enterprises

In Malaysia, only 20% of enterprises are women-owned, despite government programmes designed to help kickstart women-led businesses. Andal Krishnan from the NGO, NAWEM (National Association of Women Entrepreneurs of Malaysia) helps us understand the reasons behind this and what could be done to improve the situation.
