Japan had 33% of gender discrimination among job seekers

According to a recent survey conducted in Japan, it has been found that approximately 33% of job seekers experience gender discrimination. The survey sheds light on the persisting issue of gender inequality and bias within the country’s employment sector.

The results indicate that a significant portion of job seekers, both male, and female, face discrimination based on their gender during the hiring process. This discrimination can manifest in various forms, including biased selection criteria, lower salaries for women compared to men in similar roles, and limited career advancement opportunities.

Addressing this issue is crucial for promoting equal opportunities and ensuring a fair and inclusive work environment. It is essential for organizations and policymakers in Japan to implement measures that combat gender discrimination, such as promoting diversity and inclusion, strengthening anti-discrimination laws, and raising awareness about the importance of gender equality in the workplace.
