Description

Explore the complex reality of gender representation in Japanese politics with this academic study from the Routledge Contemporary Japan Series. This book addresses a critical question: why are there so few Japanese women involved in the political system? Despite gaining the right to stand for election in 1946, the percentage of women in the Lower House has increased by fewer than two percentage points. In 2019, women made up only 10% of the national Lower House and 21% of the Upper House. This low representation places Japan 164th out of 193 countries according to the Inter-Parliamentary Union. Author Eto examines the various factors that contribute to this gender imbalanced democracy. This text provides a deep look into the structural and social elements affecting legislative participation. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in anthropology, sociology, and the political landscape of modern Japan.
