Japan Inc. needs 2,500 more female directors to meet national target

TOKYO — Japanese companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Main Market are struggling to meet the government's target of 30% board members by 2030, amid both a lack of internal female funding and challenges in attracting outside candidates.

TSE-Prime Listed companies must add at least 2,500 female board members to meet the target. Currently, only 3,083 of their 19,000 board member positions are women.
