The government plans to minimize the gender pay gap in Japan, bringing it in line with Western countries.

The government is expected to present its plan on Wednesday at the first meeting of a team that will lead the project, chaired by Wakako Yata, an aide to the prime minister.

The team will discuss practical measures to achieve this goal ahead of the formulation of basic economic and fiscal management policies and reforms in June.

According to the Japan Institute for Labor Policy and Training, the gender pay gap in Japan in 2021 was 22.1%. In the United States and Canada this figure was about 16% and in Britain about 14%.

The team plans to research the gender pay gap in different sectors and gather information from experts.
