SHAH ALAM - As of July 2024, the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) reports that women account for 38.95 per cent of the nation's total labor force.

Although this represents a slight increase from previous years, it shows the ongoing efforts to increase female labor force participation.

From 2013 to 2023, the labor force participation rate of women climbed from 52.4 per cent to 56.2 per cent, adding an astounding 1.35 million women to the workforce.

Yet, despite these gains, women continue to be underrepresented in senior roles. A staggering 82 per cent of chief executives, senior officials, and legislators are men.

Even managerial roles saw a decline in women’s representation between 2011 and 2016. Meanwhile, women continue to dominate traditionally "feminine" professions, such as health associates, clerical work, and teaching.

Faced with these realities, the pressure to make bold career moves often falls on women. Many ask themselves: 'Should I quit to care for my family? Should I sacrifice this promotion for personal responsibilities?'.

The burden of these choices weighs heavily, and these conversations are exactly what She Leads 5 by Sinar Daily aims to tackle. With a focus on addressing imposter syndrome and self-doubt, the event seeks to empower women to navigate their career paths with confidence.

She Leads 5, a networking event hosted by Sinar Daily will feature a panel session with two speakers, Daneena Rahman, a Chartered Accountant and Corporate Director, and Nini Martini, a multi-artist who will be speaking about the tough choices women often have to make in their careers.

Titled Bold Career Moves – Shift or Stay? the discussion will dive deep into the critical decisions that define a woman’s professional journey.
