Nintendo's annual report, which was released last week, showed the company's slow progress
What is known
nintendo co. Ltd reported that 4.2% of its executives are women, a figure that has not changed since 2021, and the average salary of a female worker is 72% of that of the average male at Nintendo Co.
Nintendo itself claims that this situationarose from its long retention of employees (Nintendo's average tenure is 14.3 years), which has resulted in the company retaining an aging male leadership team who are paid more than junior executives. The average age of a Nintendo Co. employee. is 39.9 years, and in the state of 2779 people.
“The difference in wages between staffbetween male and female employees is mainly due to differences in length of service and average age. There is no difference in the treatment of men and women in terms of salary or evaluation system”, – says a report from Nintendo.
This reflects broader trends thatrecently observed in Japan, where less than 10 percent of managers nationwide are women, and the average gender pay gap exceeds 10 percent. The country's government has set a goal to increase the number of women in leadership positions to 30% by 2030, and it is already making progress.
