日本將增加女性領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人人數(shù)的努力推遲了十年

Japan will delay by up to a decade its target to raise the percentage of women in leadership posts to 30 percent – part of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s campaign to empower women – after failing to hit the deadline this year, domestic media have reported.

據(jù)日本國(guó)內(nèi)媒體報(bào)道，日本今年未能如期實(shí)現(xiàn)將女性擔(dān)任領(lǐng)導(dǎo)職務(wù)的比例提高到30%的目標(biāo)，這是日本首相安倍晉三(Shinzo Abe)旨在賦予女性權(quán)力的運(yùn)動(dòng)的一部分，但這一目標(biāo)將推遲10年。

Abe’s policies to boost the role of women in the economy and politics, dubbed “womenomics,” is a pillar of his efforts to cope with Japan’s low birth rate and aging population.

安倍提升婦女在經(jīng)濟(jì)和政治中的作用的政策被稱為“女性經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)”，是他應(yīng)對(duì)日本低出生率和人口老齡化努力的一個(gè)支柱。

Japan’s global ranking on gender parity, however, fell to 121st out of 153 countries in a World Economic Forum report for 2020, the largest gap among advanced countries and down from 101st when Abe took office for a rare second time as prime minister in 2012.

然而，在世界經(jīng)濟(jì)論壇(World Economic Forum)發(fā)布的2020年報(bào)告中，日本的全球性別均等排名降至153個(gè)國(guó)家中的第121位，這是發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家之間最大的差距，也低于安倍2012年罕見(jiàn)地第二次出任首相時(shí)的第101位。

Only 15 percent of senior and leadership posts are held by women, the report said. Abe’s 19-member cabinet has two female ministers and just shy of 10 percent of lawmakers in parliament’s powerful lower house are women.

報(bào)告說(shuō)，只有15%的高級(jí)和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)職位由女性擔(dān)任。安倍由19人組成的內(nèi)閣有兩名女部長(zhǎng)，在議會(huì)權(quán)力強(qiáng)大的下議院，只有不到10%的議員是女性。

“Achieving the target during 2020 is impossible, realistically speaking,” the Mainichi newspaper quoted a government source as saying, without identifying the source.

《每日新聞》援引一名政府消息人士的話稱:“從現(xiàn)實(shí)的角度來(lái)說(shuō)，在2020年實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)是不可能的。”該消息人士沒(méi)有透露姓名。

The new target date will be postponed to “as early as possible by 2030” in a fresh five-year gender equality plan to be approved by Abe’s cabinet this year, the paper said on Friday.

該報(bào)紙周五稱，在安倍內(nèi)閣今年通過(guò)的一項(xiàng)新的性別平等五年計(jì)劃中，新的目標(biāo)日期將“最早推遲到2030年”。

“I think there is a lack of commitment by the government and this is the proof,” said Machiko Osawa, a specialist in labor economics at Tokyo Women’s University, commenting on the delay.

“我認(rèn)為政府缺乏承諾，這就是證據(jù)，”東京女子大學(xué)(Tokyo Women 's University)勞動(dòng)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)專家大澤町子(Machiko Osawa)在評(píng)論這一推遲時(shí)說(shuō)。

An official at the government’s Gender Equality Bureau said experts were currently discussing the new basic policy plan but she could not say when they would reach a conclusion.

政府性別平等局的一名官員表示，專家們目前正在討論新的基本政策計(jì)劃，但她無(wú)法透露何時(shí)才能得出結(jié)論。
