Gender Segregation and the Japanese Labor Market: Equal Employment Opportunity Law

Tomoko Kurihara

Chapter Chapter 3 in Japanese Corporate Transition in Time and Space, 2009, pp 47-73 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the preceding chapter on fieldwork conditions and methodology I detailed the range of social relations and multiple avenues of participation that were open to me through which I observed the intricacies of corporate life. Further, I pointed to how the intersubjective nature of anthropological knowledge might enrich our understanding of workers’ lives in light of the contemporary transformations shaping Japanese society and corporate culture. Without losing sight of JCars, this chapter situates this ethnography in the wider historical, socio-cultural, legal, and economic climate of the late 1990s. Gaining an understanding of these transformations will enable us to analyze the community via the themes of gender, status politics, and ideology in finer detail in the following chapters.
