Ratio of men and women in leadership positions Same level in the 2030s Government sets new goals July 21 14:51
By the way, the government postponed the target that the proportion of women in leadership positions in society will be around 30%, and aims to reach the same level of men and women in leadership positions in the 2030s. We have established a policy of setting new goals.
In order to support women's social advancement, the government has set a goal of reducing the proportion of women in the leading positions of society to around 30% by 2020. We have considered how to achieve this because it is difficult to achieve it because the ratio of managers is still low.
As a result, we decided to abandon the achievement of the goals up to this point, change the time to reach the goal to "as early as possible in the 2020s," and postpone it.
On the other hand, in the 2030s, we set a leadership position in the 2030s, with the aim of "becoming a society in which everyone can play an active role without being aware of gender and in which the genders of those in a leadership position are not biased". We have established a policy with a new goal of aiming for a certain gender ratio to reach the same level.
The government intends to specify new goals in the Fifth Basic Plan for Gender Equality, which will be implemented in the next five years.
