In April 2014, Japan's Labor Ministry created a program that offered small- and mid-size Japanese companies a financial reward if they promoted female employees into managerial positions. The Japanese government projected that 400 companies would take advantage of the program which would award payments of up to 300,000 yen (approximately $3,500). Unfortunately, 17 months after the program's inception not one single company had applied for the reward. The ministry admitted that the requirements for receiving the reward may have been too difficult. In an effort to make the program work, the Japanese government lessened the criteria for obtaining the reward, streamlined the application process, and doubled the potential reward amount.
