Analysis: Female leaders are still backward although they increase gender equality
Kishida announced the reorganization of the cabinet on Wednesday, including the replacement of the defense ministers and foreign ministers. At the same time, the number of female ministers increased from two to five, tied to the previous record.Among them, 70 -year -old Uenagawa has been the Minister of Legal Affairs three times, and is the first female foreign minister in Japan in 20 years.
U.S. Ambassador to Japan, Emmanuel, pointed out that for Japan, which is still far behind in the appointment of women as a corporate leader, this cabinet reorganization is "a big step forward."He welcomed Shangchuan as a foreign minister and described her "very capable".
But some analysts believe that the increase in female members of the cabinet may not mean that Japan has made breakthroughs in gender equality.Bloomberg pointed out that, except for Uenagawa and the Minister of Economic Security, the Minister of Economic Security, Gao Shi Miao, the other three female ministers were relatively low -key, and they were responsible for children's welfare policies, disaster area rejuvenation, and local creation.The Minister of Finance and Trade was served by men and still excluded women from the positions of the two are expected to lead to Prime Minister's throne.
The Global Gender Gap report released by the World Economic Forum this year shows that Japan ranks fell in terms of gender equality, ranking 125th in the 146th, and ranked 138th in women's political empowerment.
Most of the Japanese ministers are selected from the members of the Congress, but at the House of Representatives, only 10%of female members.Former Member of the Political Science Professor of Tokyo Waseda University, Nakami Lin Mihiko, said: "In Japanese politics, especially the House of Representatives, women have too few women."
Miura Miri, a professor of political science at Shangzhi University, pointed out that female leaders around the world have been subject to higher standards, which is particularly obvious in Japan.She said: "Women are over -examined. If they make a small mistake, they will suffer huge attacks. If men do the same thing, they will certainly be criticized, but women will be much more criticized."
