Far more Japanese women work in part-time or non-regular jobs and the increase in labor force participation has been accompanied by an increase in the share of women working part-time or in non-regular jobs.For prime-age workers, and particularly for prime-age women, a range of workforce and child-care policies can support labor force participation.In Japan, increased participation over time of 25 to 40-yearold women raises the possibility that changes in such policies were part of the explanation for the substantial progress.Prime Minister Shinzō Abe’s reforms have occupied a particularly prominent place in discussions of Japanese women’s economic opportunities.
Although Japanese women now participate in the labor force at a higher rate, their labor market experiences are often less rewarding than those of their American counterparts.
This is evident in terms of the prevalence of part-time work, the share of women in leadership roles, and the gender wage gap
Japan not only closed the gap with the United States, but is now ahead of the United States in women’s participation.
For many years, Japan has been enhancing the generosity of programs aimed at improving women’s standing in the labor market, and more recently Japan’s leadership has argued that the major route to economic growth is to maximize women’s role in the economy. During that time they have seen a significant improvement in women’s labor force participation that is not easily explained by demographic trends
まあ、国民がぶーたら文句言いながら女性の労働市場への参加は増加しているわけですね。
増加の原因としては女性に優しい政策じゃないか、と。
まだまだ、しかし、正規職、管理職における女性の役割は少ないーーーこれはこれからの課題だろうね。
