The proportion of female executives at companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange¡¯s Prime top-tier section stood at 18.4% as of July, up 2.3 percentage points from the previous year, a survey by the Japan Business Federation, or Keidanren, showed Thursday.
Still, the figure remained below the government¡¯s target of increasing the share of female executives at companies on the Prime section to at least 19% by 2025. The target for 2030 is at least 30%.
Among Keidanren member firms traded on the top-tier section, the proportion of female executives rose by 2.2 points to 19.0%, reaching the government¡¯s interim target.
