In 2024, the number of female employees in Japan’s mining and quarrying sector is forecasted at 315.36, a significant drop from 2023, reflecting a year-on-year decrease in past trends. By 2028, figures are expected to dwindle further to 83.74, outlining an average annual decline (CAGR) over the period. This sharp decline indicates structural issues such as declining male dominance in industries traditionally categorized under heavy labor, gender disparity in alternative sectors, or automation shrinkage in such jobs.
Future trends to watch for include gender diversification policies, technological integration reducing labor needs, and changing cultural attitudes towards careers in the primary sector which might impact industry demographics significantly.
