Furthermore, women remain severely under-represented in key, growth-enhancing fields of education such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). There is a persistent imbalance in the household division of paid and unpaid work. Women are less likely to work for pay, more likely to have lower hourly earnings, and less likely to obtain decision-making positions in either public or private sectors, and women are also a minority amongst entrepreneurs. In general the gender gaps of disadvantage in the labour market are more pronounced in the Asia/Pacific region than across the OECD, and women in the Asia/Pacific region are therefore more likely to experience poverty and deprivation. The evidence-base may not be as comprehensive as the information sets generally available for OECD countries which contain a wider variety of indicators. Almost half of the children in the Asia/Pacific region now participate in formal early childhood education and care (ECEC) facilities, and enrolment in primary education is almost universal.
