Japan widest gender gap for top female executives
Thu Mar 8, 2007 12:01 AM GMT By Sylvia Westall LONDON, March 8 (Reuters) - Japan lags behind all countries in addressing the gender gap for top level executives, according to a global survey which found that the rest of Asia has more women in senior management roles than Europe. The report from consulting firm Grant Thornton International released on Thursday on time for International Women's Day found that 38 percent of companies worldwide have no women in senior management, a figure unchanged since 2004. "It is disappointing that the participation of women in senior business management has not increased more dramatically over the last three years," said April Mackenzie, a director at Grant Thornton International. "It is however encouraging to see some of the Asian economies leading the way," she added. Nearly 70 percent of businesses in Asian countries boast high ranking women, while just over half of European businesses have women in top roles. Japan, the world's second largest economy, came in last place with just a quarter of businesses reporting women in senior positions. The Philippines has made the best progress, with 97 percent of businesses reporting women in senior roles. The survey looked at responses from 7,200 privately held businesses in 32 countries, representing 81 percent of global GDP. Four out of five of the countries with the lowest figures were in Europe: 27-42 percent of businesses in the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany and Italy have senior positions filled by women. Top-ranking Philippines has been boosted by women in high profile positions, such as president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Other Asian countries which fared well include mainland China, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Thailand. Over 80 percent of businesses in these countries say they have women in senior jobs. In countries which are failing to address the gender gap at management level, business and public role models could hold the key to change, Mackenzie said. She pointed out the success of German chancellor Angela Merkel, Indra Nooyi, the new CEO of PepsiCo Inc and Anne Lauvergeon, head of French nuclear group Areva.
