Compared to men, women in the Asia/Pacific region are less likely to progress in their careers, with the share of women among legislators, senior officials and managers around 25% and declining since 2005. By contrast, women carry out most of unpaid work, providing care to children, elderly, and sick or disabled family members as well as doing other unpaid household work. In the Asia/Pacific region the gender gap in unpaid work is about three hours per day, and such gaps are particularly large in Southern Asia. Across the Asia/Pacific region about 40% of men and women hold bank accounts with a financial institution.
