"This book traces the historical development of Japan's policies towards women in
science and education. It shows how a policy of gender equality in science and engineering
has been introduced through the coordinated efforts of academia, scientific societies
and the government, and how this has led to a slow but steady increase in female representation.
The book draws on extensive interviews with government officials, scientists and educators
in Japan to provide a revealing case study on how the underrepresentation of women
in the fields of science, technology and engineering has been approached and dealt
with by a national government. " ; "The gender gap in science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM) varies greatly from country to country, and the number of Japanese
women in these fields remains relatively few. This prompts us to ask why the proportion
of female scientists in Japan is still remarkably low and what measures the government,
universities and research institutes are taking to address this issue. This book sheds
light on historical developments and the current gender equality situation in Japan,
through the lens of women in STEM. It shows how a policy of gender equality in science
and engineering has been introduced through the coordinated efforts of academia, scientific
societies and the government, and how this has led to a slow but steady increase in
female representation. The book draws on extensive interviews with government officials,
scientists and educators in Japan to provide a revealing case study on how the underrepresentation
of women in the fields of science, technology and engineering has been approached
and dealt with by a national government. It heralds a new era for female scientists,
by showcasing several programmes undertaken by government, universities and national
research institutions to support multiple career paths for and the progression of
female scientists in Japan. Tracing the historical development of Japan's policies
towards women in science and education, this book will be welcomed by students and
scholars interested in Japanese studies, comparative social policy, gender studies,
employment and the history of science and technology"
