Asia-Pacific Stats Café Series: Women in Leadership in Official Statistics

This Stats Café brought together a diverse group of successful women leaders in official statistics, national statistical systems, international and regional organizations to discuss how they advanced professionally, cultivated their leadership skills and the path they took to become a leader. The conversation further explored how they confronted established gendered social norms and stereotypes, especially in a male-dominated workplace, and how any bias and discrimination was challenged and addressed. Finally, there was a discussion of opportunities to develop strong leadership voices, encourage more women into leadership position and how barriers to female leadership in official statistics can be overcome.
