INTRODUCTION
In recent years, more women across Southeast Asia, including Cambodia, have entered higher education, professional careers, and leadership roles. This represents important social and economic progress, a shift clearly reflected in regional data across Southeast Asia. According to a 2023 United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) report on women in leadership, the share of women in senior management roles in the ASEAN region rose to approximately 35%, with countries like Cambodia seeing a steady increase in female entrepreneurs and public sector leaders. However, this rapid career acceleration means women are spending their peak biological reproductive years—typically between ages 20 and 30—establishing professional milestones, directly contributing to a demographic shift toward delayed family planning.
