Kathy Matsui, the former vice chair of Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s Japan unit, said the realization of “womenomics,” the term that she coined about the economic benefits of empowering women, is still a work in progress.
“One challenge that Japan faces is whether we can increase the representation of women in leadership positions,” Matsui said. While the employment rate for women has increased, it’s still difficult for them to move from non-regular jobs to management positions, she said.
