‘This volume is a valuable addition to the field of equal opportunities and diversity management with a focus on gender which intersects with national culture, religious beliefs, labour market environment and state of economic development of a large number of Asian countries, many of which have remained under-studied. The volume will be useful as supplementary readings and case study materials for undergraduate and postgraduate learning, as well as for researchers and practitioners who may be interested in the topic and the region.’
