Free Release of "Gender Issue Chart vol.2," an Idea Generation Tool for Solving Gender Gap Issues

Dentsu Inc . Diversity Lab, an organization within Dentsu Inc. specializing in research, analysis, and solution development in the DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) field, has developed the "Gender Issue Chart vol.2" (Male Edition), a tool designed to support idea generation as part of its initiatives to address gender gap issues. The tool is now available for free starting today. The lab will also offer services such as workshops and consulting utilizing this tool, contributing to the realization of gender equity at client companies.

To date, Dentsu Inc. Diversity Lab has responded to inquiries and requests from numerous client companies and organizations, providing support through research and studies on gender/sexuality, consulting, and other services. Regarding sexual minorities such as LGBT individuals, it has published the "LGBT Survey" (renamed the "LGBTQ+ Survey" starting in 2020") since 2012 and released the "Ally Action Guide '23" to encourage learning about, considering, and taking action on LGBTQ+ issues. In 2022, we created the "Gender Issues Chart vol.1" to provide an overview of the challenges women face. We have also offered various programs, including workshops and consulting, to promote women's empowerment within companies. Recently, as inquiries from client companies about men's gender issues have increased, we recognized the necessity of addressing not only women's but also men's gender challenges to achieve gender equity, leading to the creation of vol.2.

Overview of "Gender Issues Chart vol.2"

Provided free as a digital book, "Gender Issues Chart vol.2" collects widely available data to identify 84 issues. Like the women's vol.1, these are organized into 12 themes such as health and childcare. Comparing these with issues affecting women allows for a different perspective on the same themes, revealing how the challenges faced by men and women are interconnected. Using the female-focused Vol.1 and male-focused Vol.2 together enables a more comprehensive approach to addressing gender issues.
