| description | Past researches found that there is correlation between education level, gender discrimination, work related experience and family are barriers to a woman’s career progression however, most of the studies done are based in the West. The neglect of the East in those previous studies did not provide sufficient evidence that countries in the East behave in the same manner.

As a result, gender discrimination has the greatest impact on Malaysian women career progression |
