The share of women in managerial and leadership roles in Japan – in both the public and private sector – are among the lowest across the globe. This paper empirically examines what drives these large gender gaps in leadership in Japan, using the SVAR model. Results suggest — (i) cultural norms where women take up significantly more burden of household and childcare work; (ii) Japan’s unique employment practices (non-regular employment, long in-person working hours); and (iii) the availability of childcare facilities — are the key drivers. Further progress on workstyle reforms, more flexible labor markets, improving the quality of childcare facilities, and raising paternity leave usage will help close these gaps.

Democratic leaders around the world are finding it increasingly difficult to exercise strong leadership and maintain public support. However, there is nowhere that this has proven to be as challenging of a task as Japan, which has seen its top leaders change more often over the past 25 years than any other major country in the world. The current prime minister has strived to put an end to this pattern, but can he buck this historical trend? More fundamentally, why do Japan's prime ministers find it so difficult to project strong leadership, or even stay in office? And what are the ramifications for Japan's partners and for the world? This volume, authored by contributors who straddle the scholarly and policymaking worlds in Japan, explores the obstacles facing Japan as it looks for greater leadership and explains why this matters for the rest of the world.

Faced with a volatile global economy, a rapidly shrinking population and a declining birthrate, Japan needs to find ways to revamp its economic engine. One solution is to increase the participation of Japanese women in the workforce. Over the past decade Japanese society, its government and companies have started this process. "Diversity Management" and "Work-Life Balance" are focus areas for executives in Japanese companies with the combined goals of increasing women's participation and leadership in the workforce and improving work-life balance for all employees. However, there are significant obstacles to be overcome: lack of gender equality in the corporate culture, lack of support for work-life balance, barriers to promotion opportunities for women, and lack of motivation on the part of women themselves. Under these constraints, it is necessary that each organization, including my employer NTT West, re-consider what it has already done for diversity management, and what it can do to improve the results. In this thesis, I will describe the diversity management strategies of several large Japanese companies. Much of this information comes from the interviews I did in Tokyo in January 2010. I compare the Japanese situations and strategies to those found among U.S. companies and analyze the challenges faced by the Japanese firms. Based on that material, I propose some recommendations for Japanese individuals, organizations, and the government. Some recommendations are learned from U.S. best practices and some are hybrid solutions that take into account Japanese cultural/ organizational customs. I believe that these recommendations will be helpful not only for my employer, NTT West, but also for all Japanese companies struggling with "Diversity Management" and Japanese employees struggling with their own "Work-Life Balance".
