2. What percentage of women are employed?

According to the White Paper on Gender Equality by the Japanese government in 2023, the employment rate by gender is around 80% for women and around 90% for men.

However the percentage of non-regular employment was 31.4% for those aged 23 to 34, 48.4% for those aged 35 to 44, and 54.9 percent for those aged 45 to 54.

This suggests that although the employment rate of women is increasing in all ages, the rate of women in non-regular employment tends to rise with age.
