dc.description.abstractThe objectives of this research examine the factors that lead to fewer women Ambassadors, and Consul Generals, as well as the barriers, difficulties, and challenges of Lao women ambassadors during the posting period as perceived by senior Lao diplomats. Women comprise 25 percent of all Ambassadors and Consul Generals in 40 diplomatic representative missions abroad. The thesis relied heavily on information from the interviewees from both female and male in order to observe any differences in results; three women Ambassadors, seven men Ambassadors, and three Consul Generals were interviewed in-depth. The findings and results of this thesis show that there are factors that may hinder women from becoming ambassadors as suggested by the top diplomats; such as social norms and culture in the past that suppress womens opportunities, and lack of affirmative action. Furthermore, men officials are much more than women and that makes women in the qualified position lower than men. Women and men face similar working obstacles and challenges, which are internal and external unity, non-uniform of the information from relevant sectors, foreign languages proficiency, the lack of capability of the employees, and insufficient budget.-
dc.description.abstract이 연구의 목적은 고위 라오스 외교관이 인식하는 배치 기간 동안 라오스 여성 대사의 장벽, 어려움 및 도전뿐만 아니라 더 적은 수의 여성 대사 및 총영사로 이어지는 요인을 조사합니다. 40개 재외공관의 대사와 총영사 중 25%가 여성이다. 논문은 결과의 차이를 관찰하기 위해 여성과 남성 모두의 인터뷰 대상자 정보에 크게 의존했습니다. 여성 대사 3명, 남성 대사 7명, 총영사 3명을 심층 인터뷰했다. 본 논문의 조사 결과는 고위 외교관들이 제시한 여성의 대사 진출을 저해할 수 있는 요인이 있음을 보여준다. 여성의 기회를 억압하는 과거의 사회적 규범과 문화, 차별 철폐 조치의 부재 등. 더욱이 남성 공무원은 여성보다 훨씬 많기 때문에 자격을 갖춘 여성은 남성보다 낮습니다. 여성과 남성은 대내외 통합, 관련 분야 정보의 불균일, 외국어 능력, 직원의 능력 부족, 예산 부족 등 유사한 업무 장애 및 과제에 직면해 있습니다.-
