Hey everyone.!
I've been reading a lot about gender inequality in Japan, that women are not given equal opportunities in the workplace. Due to traditional Japanese views, women's role in the society are to be housewives while men earn a living. I know gender equality/diversity in the workplace is seen as an important issue, and even PM Shinzo Abe has vowed to elevate women in the society (although with much trouble). I am wondering how bad this issue is from the Japanese' perspectives..?
What do you guys think about gender equality in Japan? May be those who have lived/worked there could give me some insights?
Thanks
