The results underscore the challenge the world's third-largest economy faces to close its gender gap. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida set a target in June for women to hold at least 30% of executive positions at leading companies by 2030.
According to the poll, 60% of corporate managers said it would be difficult to hit such a target and 29% said it would be impossible. More than half of companies polled said they have hired or plan to hire female managers externally, with 45% of companies introducing or planning to introduce measures to help juggle work and home life.
