It's hard to say without more data. Are more women who have never been in the workforce, or out of it for a very long time, now coming back in at lower positions and thus bringing the stat down, but there's a net benefit as those women are now there, climbing the ladder slowly but surely?
Or it can be as you say, and that they are getting glass ceiling.
We will see what the results are but - https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Business-trends/Japanese-companies-set-goal-of-30-female-executives-by-2030 https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Business-trends/Japanese-co... is a goal at least, publicly stated. The US hasn't had such a goal by any administration.
- claudeganon 6y agoI’m not sure if you read the article I linked, but the 30% of executives is not a new goal but a revision by ten years of a failed target set by Abe when he first took office. It’s not a serious measure, but something used to distract from the widening inequality and growing poverty measures in Japan. Japanese households needing two wage earners to survive is increasingly becoming a reality, but is a violation of what the LDP has promised would be delivered through its conservativism. Abe’s pivot to “womenomics” was a little more than a PR maneuver to distract from the worsening material conditions that the LDP’s corrupt, failed leadership have wrought, while preserving the underlying, extreme sexism of the country.
