According to a recent survey, only 13 female CEOs lead Japan's top firms, representing just 0.8% of the Tokyo Stock Exchange's 1,643 prime market companies, highlighting the slow progress in gender diversity.
Despite a decade of initiatives including Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's promise to create a society where women shine, Japan still ranks poorly in international gender comparisons, with only 15.5% of executive positions held by women.
The government's target of having women occupy at least 30% of executive roles by the end of the decade is facing challenges, as women's representation in senior positions remains significantly lower than in many Western countries.
While Japan still struggles with gender inequality in business, there have been notable advancements, such as an increase in female board members, with over 3,000 now, and the appointment of pioneering women to prominent roles.
