Japan’s largest financial institutions are reshaping job structures to promote gender equality.
Nippon Life Insurance and MUFG Bank have eliminated the clerical job category, which was historically filled by women and offered limited career advancement.
The move aims to create senior-level opportunities for women and address gender inequality in the country's corporate landscape.
Other Japanese organizations in the financial sector, such as Dai-ichi Life, Mizuho, and Sumitomo Mitsui, have also consolidated job categories.
