Japan to tell top listed firms to have at least 1 woman executive
The Japanese government is planning to urge companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's top-tier Prime market to have at least one woman executive by 2025 as the country lags behind other advanced economies in corporate gender equality. A panel under the Cabinet Office will soon compile a proposal suggesting a numerical target should be part of TSE listing rules. The government will include the target in its policy guidelines on women's advancement to be unveiled in June. It will likely be a nonbinding goal.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in April set a goal of having women account for 30% of executives at Prime-listed companies by 2030. Setting an interim goal for 2025 would help spur action among companies, the thinking goes. The government will also urge companies to draw up action plans to meet those targets.
Japan targeted having women account for 12% of executives, including directors, corporate auditors and executive officers, by 2022 at companies listed on the TSE's first section, which has now been reorganized into the Prime market. But Japan Inc. fell short, with the ratio coming to 11.4% for Prime-listed companies as of July, according to the Cabinet Office. Companies listed on the Prime with no women executives totaled 18.7%, with only 2.2% clearing the 30% target. Because a marketwide target could result in disparities among companies, the government plans to push for individual targets as well. The gap with Western peers remains wide. As of 2022, women accounted for 45.2% of executives at top French companies, 40.9% in the U.K., 37.2% in Germany and 31.3% in the U.S., according to the Cabinet Office. Some countries have laws or listing rules requiring women in boardrooms. The U.K. requires listed companies to have women account for at least 40% of board members.
