As of last month, the percentage of female managers in companies was 8.9%, according to a private sector survey.

It's the highest ever, but it's still in the single digits.

By the end of last month, Teikoku Databank conducted a survey of more than 24,000 companies nationwide, and compiled responses from 10,992 companies.



According to this, the average percentage of women in managerial positions in companies was 8.9%, an increase of 1.1 points from last year.



It was the highest since we started the survey in 2013, but it is still in the single digits.



In addition,


22.6% of companies expect that the number of female managers will increase in the


future

, while

58.9% expect that they will not change in the future.



The government has set a goal of increasing the percentage of women in leadership positions such as managers and executives of companies to about 30% as early as possible in the 2020s, but there are sufficient movements for promotion in companies. You can see that it is not progressing.



Teikoku Databank, which conducted the survey, said, "There were many opinions that it would take time to train female executives, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises. However, the active participation of women is also important for improving corporate value, and long-term strategies including recruitment are in place. It's important. "
