New Book: Nemoto on Gender Inequality in the Japanese Workplace

On By Sarah MosseriIn Announcements, PublicationsLeave a comment

Section member, Kumiko Nemoto, recently published a new book: Too Few Women at the Top: The Persistence of Inequality in Japan (ILR/Cornell University Press, 2016)

The number of women in positions of power and authority in Japanese companies has remained small despite the increase in the number of educated women and the passage of legislation on gender equality.
