I would like to discuss the gender gap, which began to be discussed on TV and other media a few years ago. It was reported that the number of female members of the House of Councillors was 9.9% of the total, even though half of the population is made up of women. This led me to become interested in the gender issues that need attention in Japan.
I wondered if it was because of the gender gap problem, especially women's inability to work. This is because one out of three women working in Japan says it is difficult for her to work, and I thought this was due to the disparity in the support system for women, work environment, and salary increase or promotion. In Iceland, however, it is common for women to bring their babies to work and for mothers and fathers to take three months of parental leave. In addition, about half of the members of the Diet are women, and companies are required to have about female employees.
On these grounds, the gender gap in Japan should be considered important, and addressing these issues will be the key to improving women work styles and lifestyles.
