Feminism and Gender Research in Japan
About this book
There is a large gap between Japan's ranking on indicators of economic development and on indicators of gender equality. This book helps us to understand why.
The chapters in this volume illuminate important dimensions of gender inequality in Japan – in relation to class, and in comparison to other countries. The book considers the relation of gender inequality to neoliberal policies, and the implications of gender inequality for social reproduction. It demonstrates the ways in which leading Japanese scholars are debating and analysing these issues, in dialogue with feminist economists from Mexico and UK.
The chapters in this book were originally published in The Japanese Political Economy.
