働く女性の6割が直近1年昇給なし。給与交渉をしない理由は「給与が上がると思えない」が最多／『女の転職type』が働く女性にアンケート【第126回】
A survey by 'Woman's Job Change type' revealed that 60% of working women in Japan did not receive a pay raise in the past year, with many citing a lack of company raise systems or unchanged job responsibilities. While the average monthly take-home pay is 200,000-250,000 yen, the ideal is 250,000-300,000 yen, indicating a significant gap. Only about 20% have negotiated their salary, primarily due to skepticism about its effectiveness, lack of knowledge on how to negotiate, or fear of damaging relationships. However, nearly 70% of those who did negotiate saw their salary increase. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for companies to improve salary transparency and for women to proactively understand their market value and engage in salary discussions.
