Description

This comprehensive academic study examines why Japanese women remain significantly underrepresented in politics, holding just 10% of Lower House seats, 21% of Upper House seats, and 14% of local assembly positions as of 2019. With Japan ranking 164th globally for women's legislative representation among 193 countries, the book investigates the structural and cultural barriers that have limited women's political participation since they gained full suffrage in 1946. Despite nearly 80 years of eligibility, women's presence in the Lower House has increased by fewer than two percentage points, revealing persistent systemic obstacles to gender equality. Eto's analysis explores the multifaceted factors contributing to this gender imbalance, providing essential insights into Japan's democratic deficit and the mechanisms that continue to marginalise women's political voices in Japanese governance.
