U.S. looks to work with Japan to boost women's tech job opportunities

This is a actually bad news for Japan, since the US state department considers Japan a country with unequal treatment and rights for women that needs US diplomatic pressure and "encouragement" to prop up equal treatment and opportunities for women in Japan.

U.S. looks to work with Japan to boost women's tech job opportunities

To boost women participation with Japan, good luck with that.

Japanese women go to college in great numbers, get selected at great businesses, and many are on the track to good careers. I saw it in Tokyo. They're trying to address the issue with support groups and new measures.

However, once most Japanese women take even a single a maternity leave, it's almost impossible to get back on track in the corporate world. For example, a common "working mom job" you see frequently on the news is that of a 1,200 yen per hour call center with a built-in daycare. The mom can see their child through a window from the desk. HA!! Um, where's that for working dads, am I right?

Japan has a double-edged sword with "women in tech" or any career path, and they don't know how to wield it. The government is trying to get women to have more children to fix the declining birthrate, and companies are hurting for skilled employees.

But the whole concept of a "career woman" in Japan is that of a cavalier woman warrior that doesn't want or need a family. And the thought of a mom leaving "early" to pick up kids from school basically means no more upward mobility at MOST big J-corporates. So why even participate?

If you were not in tech now ,it too late ,it a gluten of tech workers

No disrespect to Japanese women and all the best to them. It’s the Oyaji higher ups that I’m concerned with. There’s been a lot of discrimination and disrespect from them towards women and foreigners.

Unless they pack some first and basic math into manga books, anime and TikTok videos, decorated with some additional gimmicks like photos of K-Pop boy idols and a free Chanel handbag if they also buy the next some issues, that will surely remain only an illusion far from any reality, every bet, every size.
