Survey finds Japanese medical schools admitting men at higher rates

All of this goes down to not having enough child care institutions.

You can have all the child care institutions in the world, but as long as we have biological tendencies, more women will want to leave work to care for the newborn children.

Its a understandable fact that women do leave the profession to have babies in their 20's and 30's leaving a doctor shortage, So the Medical University is looking at the bigger picture that is if they allow more women students there will be a Doctor shortage in the future.

To comment on this you have to either in the self interest which allows the women in the industry while knowing they will leave or the bigger picture supporting the University to be selective so there will be a Doctor there when they are needed.

I thought there were promises to look into and resolve this? And yet...

If this extends to a lot the big national universities, as it seems possible, this scandal could really blow up like nothing before. I would be curious what the relevant acceptance rates were for individual universities and whether this is an across the board practice or if there are just a few egregious cases drawing the overall average so far down.

TIJ who is surprised by this?

Mysogyny is alive and well in Japan? What a shocker.

We've covered this.
