The importance of economic reforms in increasing female employment: the experience of Japan's Abenomics
Abstract
This article analyzes the programs implemented within the framework of the Abenomics policy to support women in Japan, their participation in the labor market and the level of development in leadership positions. Measures aimed at improving working conditions for women and overcoming the social problems of the “Womenomics” policy adopted by the government led by Shinzo Abe are discussed. The article also examines the importance of telecommuting opportunities for women under the “Work Style Reform” program, as well as mental health and social support programs, and highlights Japan’s success in involving fathers in child care.
