The in-depth analyses presented in this book have a dual focus: (1)
Social mechanisms through which the gender wage gap, gender
inequality in the attainment of managerial positions, and gender
segregation of occupations are generated in Japan; and (2)
Assessments of the effects of firms' gender-egalitarian personnel
policies and work-life balance promotion policies on the gender
wage gap and the firms' productivity. In addition, this work
reviews and discusses various economic and sociological theories of
gender inequality and gender discrimination and considers their
consistencies and inconsistencies with the results of the analysis
of Japanese data. Furthermore, the book critically reviews and
discusses the historical development of the Japanese employment
system by juxtaposing rational and cultural explanations. This book
is an English translation by the author of a book he first
published in Japanese in 2017. The original Japanese-language
edition received two major book awards in Japan. One was The Nikkei
Economic Book Culture Award, which is given every year by the
Nikkei Newspaper Company and the Japan Economic Research Center to
a few best books on economy and society. The other was The Showa
University's Women's Culture Research Award, which is bestowed
annually on a single book of research that promotes gender
equality. Kazuo Yamaguchi is the Ralph Lewis Professor of Sociology
at the University of Chicago.
