This marks the third consecutive annual increase. However, nearly 20% of female CEOs are over 75, reflecting an aging demographic. Okinawa and Saga lead the region, ranking second and third nationwide for women-led companies, at 11.6% and 11.1%, respectively. Analysts attribute the high proportion of older CEOs to lower entrepreneurship rates among younger women. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tdb.co.jp\/report\/economic\/20241128-womanpres2024\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teikoku Data Bank<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-167700\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/fnn_tenjin-office-image_2024_WEB.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Women CEOs in Kyushu-Okinawa Reach Record 9.8%\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/fnn_tenjin-office-image_2024_WEB.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/fnn_tenjin-office-image_2024_WEB.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/fnn_tenjin-office-image_2024_WEB.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/fnn_tenjin-office-image_2024_WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
