    Very good news, indeed, but: “Housewives in their 30s tend to envy career women because of their corporate career path, while career women in their 30s tend to envy housewives because they look happy, with their married lives and children. Everyone wants something they don’t have.”

    The idea of career women as oposed to married women with children is completely wrong. Too many people here think that a career women can not be a good mother.

    Then why does it work fine in Europe/western cultures? It's all about the support from the government and society. If a woman wants to work but there are not daycare institutions for babies (because that is supposed to be superfluous in Japan), she can not just leave the baby at home and go to work. Just creating many of such institutions in Japan would be a great encouragement measure.

    Another good measure: in Spain, for example, women under 35 have "financial help" (we pay less taxes), and also if we start our own business, and so on. That is encouragement.

    Another thing would be to stop showing the image of women as always wearing their epulon and slippers, carrying a pan, while the men are showed with the business case, or reading books when they are at home while the mother is cooking. It only forces women to identify themselves with that role. They did not choose to be born "women", so giving them a role is just unfair.

    Why can a man choose between one thousand fantastic jobs but a woman can just clean, cook, raise children and, maybe getting a second-class part time job? Is that not unfair??

    In Europe it is very rare to see that old-fashioned image of a woman today. In TV ads, they are showed in front of the computer as much as the man is showed washing the dishes. That has helped women also to identify themselves with the working type. TV is very powerful indeed!

    And I could tell many more examples of how to encourage women to work... I hope this is the first step towards a gender-equal and fair society.

    Japan protects human rights??

    What about the death penalty? The strong sexual discrimination? The passive attitute towards minorities like the disabled, homosexuals, immigrants? Workers not getting payed for the extra hours?

    An the real sad thing is that a woman in Japan has to do this kind of things too often DUE TO THE LACK OF CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND PROPER ENCOURAGEMENT FOR HIGH EDUCATION

    There are so many exciting professions that give you money while not letting your brain oxidize... And you can do them even if you are old or ugly or fat... What about being a doctor, lawyer, architect, scientist, an engineer, anything that requires some intellectual effort...? Unless you have an empty brain... I know many people unfortunately don't have a chance to study, but I am reading here that university students dream of a hostess job...
