Despite facing economic uncertainties, large companies in Japan expect to maintain the same wage growth rate as last year in 2025, which is approximately 5%.

According to the Zhitong Finance APP, Takeshi Niinami, chairman of Japan's major business lobbying group, Keizai Doyukai, stated at a press conference on Tuesday that despite economic uncertainty, large companies in Japan are expected to maintain a wage growth rate of about 5% in 2025, the same as last year, which provides some stability expectations for the Japanese labor market.

However, Takeshi Niinami also emphasized the challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises in terms of wage growth. He pointed out that for small and medium-sized enterprises, achieving wage growth beyond the previous year for three consecutive years is crucial, as it helps narrow the wage gap with large companies and promotes balanced economic development overall.

In addition, Japan's largest labor union, Rengo, pointed out in a recent report that the average salary increase for Japanese companies in 2024 has reached 5.1%, the largest increase in the past 30 years. This data reflects the proactive attitude of Japanese companies towards increasing employee income and also indicates the competitive situation in the Japanese labor market. The Rengo union expects to at least maintain a salary increase of 5% in 2025 to further promote income growth for employees.
