Viet Nam was listed in the top of MIWE, preceded by New Zealand, Sweden, Canada, the U.S. and Singapore.

With the proportion of Vietnamese businesswomen accounting for 31.3%, the nation is ranked 6th among countries with the highest number of businesses owned by women, which is higher than its wealthier developed global peers.

The research follows the development and achievements of businesswomen and owners at 57 nations in Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, Africa and North America. 

The research aims to remind Governments and organizations to strengthen support for businesswomen to get access to financial assistance and education.
