The bulletin about the advance of Japanese women in the postwar years is a report that was published in the Women’s Affairs Series, Bulletin No. 4 by the Women’s & Minors’ Bureau of the Japanese Ministry of Labor. The report provides an overview of the progress made by Japanese women in the years following World War II, particularly in education, employment, and political participation.
According to the report, the number of women attending higher education institutions in Japan increased significantly in the postwar years, with women accounting for 46.2% of university students in 1960. Additionally, the percentage of women in the workforce increased during this period, with women making up 25% of the total workforce in 1960.
The report also notes that the number of women holding political office in Japan increased over time. In 1946, there were no women in the Japanese Diet (parliament). However, by 1952, 39 women had been elected to the lower house of the Diet.
However, the report also acknowledges that gender inequality and discrimination continued to persist in Japan during this period. Women were often relegated to lower-paying and less prestigious jobs and faced barriers to advancing in their careers. The report emphasizes the need for continued efforts to promote gender equality and improve opportunities for women in Japan.
Overall, the bulletin about the advance of Japanese women in the postwar years provides valuable insight into the progress made by Japanese women during a time of significant social and economic change in the country.
