?:abstract
  • "For many years Japanese companies built their high performance upon an employment system which excluded the majority of women from key jobs. Since the early 1980s Japan has come under increasing pressure from the international community to improve the position and status of women workers in compliance with the standards of gender equality accepted by other advanced countries. In May 1985, the Japanese government passed the Equal Employment Opportunity Law (hereafter refered to as EEO Law) which took effect from April 1986. It prohibits discrimination against women in vocational training, fringe benefits, retirement and dismissal. It also urges employers to 'endeavour' to treat women equally with men with regard to recruitment, job assignment and promotion. This paper analyses the nature of the EEO Law and looks at its effects on companies' personnel policies and women's career attitudes. The main conclusions are that the EEO Law has not had the desired effect. Japanese companies' continued attachment to the 'traditional' employment practices and their desire to protect the stability of the established maledominated internal labour markets constitute the major obstacle for change."
