According to a Jiji Press survey released this month, 49 of 100 major companies said they are considering hiring more female graduates in 2015 than this year. That will be good news for the women students planning on graduating next year.
For the many other women still waiting to be hired and hoping to be treated better in the workplace, the news will be good only if further serious improvements are made for women.
The reason most companies said they were considering hiring more female graduates was to increase diversity in the workforce.
