Discrimination against Women Workers in Japan
Keiko KARUBE 계명대학교 사회과학연구소 2016 한국사회과학연구 Vol.35 No.2
This paper discusses discrimination against women workers in Japan. Japan ratified the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women in 1985. In April 1986, the Equal Employment Opportunity Act (EEOA), a law which stipulates equal treatment of women workers with men, became effective. The law was a major condition which enabled the Japanese government to ratify the UN Convention. More than thirty years have passed since then; however, Japanese women workers continue to face serious discrimination in the workplaces. To examine the causes of gender-based discrimination, I will first review the laws concerning women workers before 1985 and the drafting process of the EEOA. Second, I will illustrate how the EEOA influenced society and how employers have coped with the new law. Third, I will review the governmental campaigns and programs after 2008, a year that the Global Financial Crisis took place, to discuss whether they have effectively reduced discrimination against women workers. Finally, I will discuss a possible solution of discrimination against Japanese women workers.
