Since 2023, Japanese companies with 301 or more employees are required by law to publicly disclose their gender pay gaps annually, with expanded reporting obligations coming into effect for companies with 101 or more employees from April 2026. This landmark legal mandate marks a pivotal step in addressing Japan’s significant gender pay gap, which remains one of the widest among developed nations at around 22%.
Join DE&I practitioners, HR leaders, business executives, civic society, academicians and NGOs for an energizing event that goes beyond compliance to explore compelling research insights and proven best practices for closing the pay gap. Discover how leading organisations are using transparency as a powerful tool to drive real change, from data analysis to actionable strategies supporting inclusive workplaces. Together, we will navigate the evolving landscape of pay equity in Japan and empower businesses to not only meet legal obligations but to become champions of equality and inclusion.
