Japan wants 30% directors at top firms to be women FMTNews FMTBusiness
TOKYO: Japan will aim to have women make up at least 30% of directors at major firms by 2030, according to a draft plan issued by the Gender Equality Bureau that said more diversity can contribute to innovation and growth.
Japan has sought to bring more women into the workforce to make up for its aging and shrinking population, but has long struggled to meet its targets on diversity in management. It ranked 116 out of 146 countries in last year’s Global Gender Gap Report by the World Economic Forum, far below all of its Group of Seven peers.
The government will also encourage women to start their own companies, with the target of having women make up 20% of entrepreneurs benefiting from a government support program, up from the current 8.8%. The government will consider expanding an obligation to reveal data on pay disparities between men and women from companies with more than 301 employees to those with more than 101 employees. Japan has one of the widest pay gaps among developed countries surveyed by the OECD.
