Work & Home

Gender inequality is still an  issue and continues in family life and workplace. The phrase "good wife, wise mother," continues to influence beliefs about gender roles. Most women may not be able to realize that ideal, but many believe that it is in their own, their children's, and society's best interests that they stay home to take care of  their children, at least while the children were young. Many women find satisfaction in family life and in the accomplishments of being a mother, gaining a sense of fulfilment from doing good jobs as household managers and mothers. In most households ; women are responsible for their family budgets and make independent decisions about the education, careers, and life-styles of their families. Women also take the social blame for problems of family members.

Women's educational opportunities have increased in the 20th century. Among new workers in 1989, 37 % of women had received education beyond upper-secondary school, compared with 43 % of men, but most women had received their postsecondary education in junior colleges and technical schools rather than in universities and graduate schools.

  1. It's good when woman decides to be a housewife and not to the retime. How I see, women are respected in their country, and it's joyful to hear. Irina

  2. It´s really comforting to hear that women are highly esteemed in their country yet. I liked that phrase "good wife, wise mother,".But there are many things to change according to equality here.

  3. I liked to read that Japan women can choose, if they want to study or to be a housewife, and I liked that women's educational opportunities have increased.

  4. I think that it's great that women still studying and progressing as person. But the thought that a woman has to stay in home is not fare to me. Fortunately, women from Japan are trying to overcome themselves.

  5. I thought that the women's situation in this country was worst that what i've just read, I'm really amazed about the ammount of women that study after the school that's very important,that this country leave behind the idea that "women have to take care of the children and do the things at home"
