We promote women's participation in sports as part of a solution to better integrate women into the labor force of A sian economies. Women in A sia lag other regions in terms of labor force participation and membership in corporate leadership bodies; this is particularly acute in E ast A sia. Involvement in sport has been found to be associated with long‐term economic benefits for women internationally, including enhanced returns to education and labor outcomes. We propose a number of sports program‐related policies for A sian countries to consider in order to better integrate women into education, society, labor, and corporate boardrooms.
