Deregulation and Female Labor

Masatsugu Takeda

Japanese Economy, 1998, vol. 26, issue 1, 3-32

Abstract: This article examines female labor in contemporary Japan by focusing on the issue of abolishing women's protection provisions in the Labor Standards Law. My reason for doing this is not only that this issue is being tackled in the deregulation of employment and labor matters, but also because it is an issue that cannot be avoided when examining gender equality and female labor rights; and, it has arisen as an ongoing issue in connection with the debate over revising the Japanese Equal Employment Opportunity Law. Moreover, considering that 40 percent of workers today are female, the way in which women are protected will have a big impact on society.
