記事 : 「More Women Workers May Save Japan’s Economy」

女性の社会進出が日本経済を救う、という記事です。
僕も120%同感です。これからは如何に女性が働き易い環境を用意するか、如何に女性が長く働ける職場にするか、が会社が考える重要課題だと思います。
僕が働くも職場も管理職は全員男性。これでは駄目だと思います。新しい発想を取り入れる為にも、女性社員、女性管理職をどんどん登用すべきと考えてます。徐々にですが、そういった動きも出ています。

僕が尊敬する佐々木かおりさんの言葉も引用されてます。佐々木さんはworking womenの中ではカリスマですよね。


Japan is currently facing an economic problem: there are not enough people in its workforce to pay welfare costs and needed taxes. However, experts believe women may salvage the economy if women are given more jobs.

According to a Goldman Sachs report in 2010, Japan’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) could rise by about 15% if more women would join the workforce.

Data from the government reveals that Japanese women currently earn only 60% of what men earn because most women are part-time workers. In addition, only 65% of women with college-level education have jobs, while 70% of women leave their jobs after giving birth to their first child.

The low number of working women is partly because of gender gap issues in Japan.
Kaori Sasaki, president and CEO of consulting company Ewoman, explains that high company positions have long been held by men who think similarly.

For Japan to have economic growth, she says, management and executives need people—both women and men—who think differently and can provide a diversity of ideas to solve problems.

Masahiro Yamada, professor of family sociology at Tokyo’s Chuo University says women also need to work and have income so they can think of starting families. A population increase would mean more workers to support the economy.

But being a working mom can be a challenge in the country because of long work hours and after-work socializing that almost seems compulsory. Few companies allow parental leave longer than 18 months.

Sasaki says that although some working women believe they are now given more opportunities, the gender gap remains a problem ignored by the country.
