女性管理職は目標以下　国家公務員の登用状況―政府

　政府は２０日、２０２０年７月時点の女性国家公務員の管理職などの登用状況を公表した。局長や審議官といった「指定職」相当の女性割合は前年比０．２ポイント増の４．４％、中央省庁の課長・室長クラスは０．６ポイント増の５．９％だった。過去最高を更新したものの、目標には届いていない。
　政府は２０年度末までに指定職相当で５％、課長・室長クラスで７％とすることを掲げていた。今年度が最終年度であり、次期目標については現在検討している。（2020/11/20-10:11）

The Japanese government said Friday it has yet to achieve the target of raising the share of women among national civil servants in managerial positions to 5 pct by the end of fiscal 2020.
   As of July, the share of women working as bureau chiefs or in higher posts grew by 0.2 percentage point from a year before to 4.4 pct. The proportion was a record high but still below the 5 pct goal.
   The share of female section chiefs at head offices of government ministries and agencies rose by 0.6 point to 5.9 pct, also a record high but below the government's target of 7 pct.
   The government has been aiming to achieve these targets before the current fiscal ends in March next year. It is currently considering setting new goals.
   Meanwhile, the share of women among national civil servants working as section chiefs at regional institutions of government agencies or in posts equivalent to assistant section chiefs at the central offices of such agencies grew by 0.7 point to 12.3 pct, surpassing the state target of 12 pct.
