The Role of Women in International Management:
Japan
The Role of Women in International Management:
JapanBy tradition women are hired primarily for clerical
tasks and tea serving; they are known as “office ladies”.
Could expanding women’s roles help end Japan’s 13-year economic slump?
Women’s lack of participation may shave .6 percent off annual growth.
Average profits are higher in companies comprised of 40 to 50 percent women.
Population decline could cause huge labor shortages.
Women are often illegally dismissed for pregnancy.
Government officials complain declining birth rates are due to the over-education of women.
Women say the problem is lack of day care and very long working hours.
