. Japan’s non-regular workforce is almost 70 per cent female and more than half of female jobs are non-regular.
As of July last year, 18.7 per cent of top-tier Japanese firms had no female board members and only 2.2 per cent had more than 30 per cent of executive roles filled by women. Kishida’s government also plans to take other steps such as expanding childcare benefits, supporting female students in STEM education, and investing in female entrepreneurship.There are no quick solutions to the gender problem in Japan due to deeply rooted socio-cultural challenges.
These can be backed by more concrete policies such as setting mandatory gender targets and quotas in both the economic and political sectors.
