This book, based on extensive original research, presents a
detailed analysis of the varying opportunities and challenges
experienced by Japanese women with professional careers, an
important category of the population in Japan, whose lives remain
little known. It addresses many key issues, including the problems
of flexible work in an increasingly neoliberal environment; the
pervasiveness of precarious work conditions in gendered managerial
employment; the state's neglect in transforming antiquated labour
laws and in combating abusive corporate practices; the implications
of dysfunctional employee-employer relations and those among
co-workers; media representations as barometers of resistant social
norms; the ambivalent effects of work related drinking practices;
and the lack of collective representation due to ineffective labour
unions. Overall, the book presents the disheartening realities of
conflicts and ambivalence experienced by many women managers in
contemporary Japan.
