Working women change the face of Japanese business
Industries that have long been dominated by men in Japan are starting to offer women the opportunity to succeed. In service industries, some of the employment changes result from consumer preferences. Delivery firms, for example, have a hunch that female customers living alone will feel more at ease if the person who brings a package to the door is the same gender. Many companies have also become more willing to promote women to management positions. The current administration has set a goal of raising the presence of women in leading positions upper business management to at least 30% or higher by 2030. Movement in that direction could play a part in rejuvenating the country's economy. Guest: Kaori Sasaki (CEO, ewoman, Inc.)
