This paper explores the career development process of women in postwar Japan who belonged to the Shufuren (the Association of Consumer Organization), the homemakers' federation, and who became experts in everyday life through studying and researching to improve their lives. It analyzes the organizational chart, hours and fundings for activities, details of activities, formation of the cooperative relationships, and career development of the leaders. The women who gathered at the Shufuren studied and researched the issues that arose in daily lives. By accumulating survey and research data and presenting scientific evidence, they made requests and proposals for improvements to the Diet, governments, and industries. Through these activities, they contributed to establish laws and systems protecting consumer rights. The women also developed partnerships with other civic groups in sharing current social issues. They expanded the circle of the movement and asserted their demands to the Diet, government agencies, industries, and the public. The members grew as experts in everyday life by steadily building their careers with passion for daily activities. Their activities were not limited to the Shufuren; some women went beyond the Shufuren to become leaders of organizations. Conventionally, homemakers are viewed as not having career development aspirations. When discussing women's career development in Japan, attention has focused on career development through work and balancing work and family life. However, the activities and steps taken by the female members of the Shufuren to improve their lives should also be considered a form of career development.

本文探讨了战后日本妇女的职业发展过程,她们隶属于家庭主妇联合会 "消费者组织协会",通过学习和研究改善生活,成为日常生活的专家。报告分析了组织结构、活动时间和经费、活动细节、合作关系的形成以及领导人的职业发展。聚集在舒福仁的妇女们对日常生活中出现的问题进行了学习和研究。她们通过积累调查研究数据和提出科学证据,向国会、政府和行业提出改进要求和建议。通过这些活动,她们为建立保护消费者权益的法律和制度做出了贡献。妇女们还与其他民间团体建立伙伴关系,分享当前的社会问题。她们扩大了运动的范围,并向国会、政府机构、行业和公众提出她们的要求。成员们以对日常活动的热情稳步发展自己的事业,逐渐成为日常生活的专家。她们的活动并不局限于修身会,有些妇女还超越修身会,成为组织的领导者。传统观念认为,家庭主妇没有职业发展的愿望。在讨论日本妇女的职业发展时,人们关注的重点是通过工作和平衡工作与家庭生活来实现职业发展。然而,修身堂女性成员为改善生活而开展的活动和采取的措施也应被视为职业发展的一种形式。

Careers in “woman-friendly” occupations: Investigating the role of beauty consultant in the era of neoliberalism 女性友好型 "职业:调查美容顾问在新自由主义时代的作用
Q2 SOCIOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-03-04 DOI: 10.1111/ijjs.12161

This article explores the paradoxical nature of beauty consultant careers in Japan. Despite being considered a “woman-friendly” occupation, it reveals the challenging aspects of this profession in a neoliberal context. Japan's gender gap in employment is stark, with women often engaged in precarious positions, earning significantly less than men. The beauty industry, perceived as advancing women's empowerment, presents opportunities for women in management roles. However, the profession of a beauty consultant demands continuous beauty upkeep, making it a potentially unsustainable career. The research draws on interviews with former and current beauty consultants, supplemented by statistical data and observational research. It highlights their working environment, including entry requirements, training, career advancement, and aesthetic labor demands such as wearing company uniforms, using specific makeup, and maintaining a youthful appearance. Despite a seemingly supportive environment with maternity leave and career advancement prospects, the research reveals the reality of aesthetic labor demands, limited career progression, and challenges faced by women in sustaining their careers after life events like childbirth. Neoliberal norms impact these women, emphasizing self-fulfillment, maintaining youth and beauty, and working post life events. In conclusion, the research offers insights into the gendered labor dynamics in Japan and broadens understanding of women's labor in the neoliberal context. It calls for a deeper examination of “woman-friendly” workplaces and underscores the need to recognize the challenges women face in career progression in such environments.

本文探讨了日本美容顾问职业的矛盾本质。尽管美容顾问被认为是 "对女性友好 "的职业,但它揭示了在新自由主义背景下这一职业所面临的挑战。日本就业中的性别差距非常明显,女性往往从事不稳定的工作,收入远远低于男性。美容业被视为促进妇女赋权的行业,为担任管理职务的女性提供了机会。然而,美容顾问的职业要求持续的美容保养,这使其成为一个潜在的不可持续的职业。本研究以对前任和现任美容顾问的访谈为基础,辅以统计数据和观察研究。研究强调了她们的工作环境,包括入职要求、培训、职业晋升和审美劳动要求,如穿着公司制服、使用特定化妆品和保持年轻外表。尽管有产假和职业发展前景等看似有利的环境,但研究揭示了审美劳动要求、有限的职业发展以及女性在生育等人生大事后维持职业生涯所面临的挑战等现实问题。新自由主义规范对这些女性产生了影响,它们强调自我实现、保持青春和美丽,以及在人生大事之后继续工作。总之,研究为日本的性别劳动动态提供了见解,并拓宽了对新自由主义背景下妇女劳动的理解。它呼吁对 "女性友好型 "工作场所进行更深入的研究,并强调有必要认识到女性在此类环境中职业发展所面临的挑战。

Mentoring and creativity: Resources for working women to thrive in a challenging workplace after COVID-19 指导与创造力:COVID-19 之后职业女性在充满挑战的工作场所茁壮成长的资源
Q2 SOCIOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-02-21 DOI: 10.1111/ijjs.12160

This study investigated the association between mentoring and creativity among male and female office workers. A web survey was administered to individuals aged 20–59 years using the survey monitors of an internet company; 2106 valid responses (1048 men and 1058 women) were analyzed to examine the association between mentoring and creativity. A three-way analysis of covariance was conducted using mentoring, gender, and managerial status as the independent variables, which were adjusted for occupation. The analysis of the main effects showed that mentored individuals had higher creativity than nonmentored individuals, regardless of gender or managerial status. In addition, managers had significantly higher creativity than nonmanagers. There was no significant difference in creativity between men and women. The interaction effect of gender and managerial status was significant, and the analysis of the simple main effects indicated that male nonmanagers had higher creativity than female nonmanagers, whereas no significant gender difference was found between male and female managers. The difference in the creativity score between mentored and nonmentored female managers was 0.467, whereas the difference between mentored and nonmentored male managers was 0.357; this suggests that mentoring is critical, particularly for female managers. The primary focus of mentoring research has been the role of mentoring in promoting career-related behaviors and attitudes. This study illustrates the potential to enhance creativity, which is an asset for working women in managing challenges after COVID-19.

本研究调查了指导与男女上班族创造力之间的关系。研究利用一家互联网公司的调查监控器对 20-59 岁的个人进行了网络调查,分析了 2106 份有效答卷(男性 1048 份,女性 1058 份),以研究指导与创造力之间的关系。以指导、性别和管理者身份为自变量进行了三方协方差分析,并对职业进行了调整。主效应分析表明,无论性别或管理者地位如何,接受过指导的人都比未接受指导的人具有更高的创造力。此外,管理人员的创造力明显高于非管理人员。男性和女性在创造力方面没有明显差异。性别和管理者身份的交互效应显著,简单主效应分析表明,男性非管理者的创造力高于女性非管理者,而男性和女性管理者之间没有显著的性别差异。接受指导和未接受指导的女性经理人之间的创造力得分差异为 0.467,而接受指导和未接受指导的男性经理人之间的差异为 0.357;这表明指导至关重要,尤其是对女性经理人而言。指导研究的主要重点是指导在促进职业相关行为和态度方面的作用。本研究说明了辅导在提高创造力方面的潜力,而创造力是职业女性在应对 COVID-19 之后的挑战时的一种资产。

Gender mainstreaming in the Japan Self-Defense Forces 日本自卫队的性别平等主流化
Q2 SOCIOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-02-20 DOI: 10.1111/ijjs.12162
Hitoshi Kawano

The issue of “gender integration” within the military organization has long been a major research topic in military sociology. In the last two decades, however, specific topics such as “gender mainstreaming,” “diversity management,” and “diversity and inclusion” have pervaded sociological studies on military organizations. In this article, I examine the current state of gender integration in the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF), focusing on efforts to promote gender mainstreaming. In particular, following the National Action Plan to implement the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 was formulated in 2015, the Ministry of Defense issued the JSDF Female Personnel Empowerment Initiative in 2017, in which previous challenges for career development of female SDF personnel were to be removed by making virtually all job categories available for women including combat pilot, missile boat crew, and tank driver. While the number and ratio of female personnel have increased and their prospects of career development have substantially improved in the last few years, work–life conflict and sexual/power harassment remain to be challenging issues for the retention of female personnel. Due to the deep-rooted male-dominant organizational culture of the military organization, further organizational challenges remain for JSDF to shift its overarching human resource management paradigm from “Diversity 1.0” to “Diversity 2.0,” with the strong commitment of top leaders to innovate organizational culture.

长期以来,军事组织中的 "性别融合 "问题一直是军事社会学的主要研究课题。然而,在过去的二十年中,"性别主流化"、"多样性管理 "和 "多样性与包容性 "等特定主题充斥着有关军事组织的社会学研究。在本文中,我将研究日本自卫队(JSDF)性别融合的现状,重点关注促进性别主流化的努力。特别是在2015年制定了《落实联合国安理会第1325号决议的国家行动计划》后,防卫省于2017年发布了《日本自卫队女性人员赋权倡议》,其中提出要消除以往自卫队女性人员职业发展面临的挑战,使包括战斗飞行员、导弹艇艇员和坦克驾驶员在内的几乎所有工种都能为女性提供。在过去几年中,虽然女性人员的数量和比例有所增加,其职业发展前景也得到了大幅改善,但工作与生活的冲突以及性骚扰/权力骚扰仍然是留住女性人员的挑战性问题。由于军事组织以男性为主导的组织文化根深蒂固,日本自卫队要将其总体人力资源管理范式从 "多样性 1.0 "转变为 "多样性 2.0",还面临着进一步的组织挑战,高层领导必须坚定地致力于创新组织文化。

Has globalization of the Japanese economy contributed to satisfying career-building for women? The case of Japanese female migrants to East Asia 日本经济的全球化是否有助于妇女获得令人满意的职业发展?日本女性移民到东亚的案例
Q2 SOCIOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-02-20 DOI: 10.1111/ijjs.12164

This paper analyzes the shift in career strategies among Japanese women due to the globalization of Japan's economy since the 1980s. It highlights how economic changes led to a gender-based division of labor, propelling women to seek opportunities abroad. The research draws on interviews with 81 women who moved to financial centers in East Asia, mainly in Hong Kong and Shanghai, examining their experiences in the workforce, the impact of human resource agencies in their migration, and the challenges and opportunities they encountered. The study reveals a complex landscape where Japanese women navigate gendered expectations and discrimination both in Japan and abroad in pursuit of career advancement. The conclusion emphasizes three points. First, women found opportunities abroad to do what they wanted, even if it was not what they initially expected before leaving Japan. Second, although supportive and subordinate to male managers, their work was indispensable to the management of Japanese companies abroad. Their contribution has long been underestimated but needs to be considered. Third, the experience abroad gave them direct interaction with various clients and colleagues and a view of rapid societal change in Hong Kong and China, contributing to choosing their diverse career trajectories and life plans.

本文分析了 20 世纪 80 年代以来日本经济全球化导致日本女性职业战略的转变。它强调了经济变化如何导致基于性别的劳动分工,推动女性到国外寻找机会。本研究通过对 81 名移居东亚金融中心(主要是香港和上海)的女性进行访谈,考察了她们的工作经历、人力资源机构对其移居的影响,以及她们遇到的挑战和机遇。研究揭示了日本女性在追求职业发展的过程中,在日本国内和国外如何应对性别期望和歧视的复杂局面。结论强调了三点。首先,女性在国外找到了做自己想做的事情的机会,即使这并不是她们离开日本前最初所期望的。其次,尽管她们是男性管理者的支持者和从属者,但她们的工作对海外日本公司的管理是不可或缺的。她们的贡献长期以来一直被低估,但需要加以考虑。第三,海外经历让她们与不同的客户和同事有了直接的交流,也让她们看到了香港和中国社会的快速变化,有助于她们选择不同的职业轨迹和人生规划。

Abstract The aim of this paper is to analyze the sociodemographic compositions and labor market entry of low‐educated youth in Japan. The paper specifically focuses on whether vocational education provides a safety net for labor market insecurities during an era of educational expansion. While past literature has shown that vocational education contributes to occupationally specific skills and a smooth transition from school to work, less is known about its effectiveness when low‐educated youth become a minority group. The case of Japan provides a unique perspective, given its historically low youth unemployment rate and strong connections between schools and employers, despite its academically oriented high school education system. The 2015 Social Stratification and Social Mobility Survey in Japan is used to evaluate trends in vocational education and their impact on employment. The key variables under examination are entry‐level job outcomes. The results show that, over the past decades, high school graduates in Japan have become a more disadvantaged group than university graduates. Among high school graduates, those from general schools tend to have more advantageous sociodemographic backgrounds than their counterparts from vocational schools. Despite the limitations, vocational high school graduates have been better rewarded in the transition to work throughout recent decades. Furthermore, the labor market premium for vocational school graduates remains stable even after accounting for the influence of school networks. Sensitivity analysis confirms the robustness of these effects. The implications of the findings are discussed within the context of the skill formation regime in Japan.
摘要本文旨在分析日本低学历青年的社会人口构成和劳动力市场进入情况。本文特别关注的是,在教育扩张的时代,职业教育是否为劳动力市场的不安全感提供了一个安全网。虽然过去的文献表明,职业教育有助于职业特定技能的培养和从学校到工作的顺利过渡,但当低学历青年成为少数群体时,人们对其有效性知之甚少。日本的案例提供了一个独特的视角,因为它的青年失业率处于历史低位,学校和雇主之间的联系也很紧密,尽管它的高中教育体系是以学术为导向的。2015年日本社会分层和社会流动调查被用来评估职业教育的趋势及其对就业的影响。审查的关键变量是入门级工作成果。结果表明,在过去的几十年里,日本的高中毕业生已经成为比大学毕业生更弱势的群体。在高中毕业生中,来自普通学校的学生往往比来自职业学校的学生拥有更有利的社会人口背景。尽管存在种种限制,但职业高中毕业生在近几十年向工作过渡的过程中获得了更好的回报。此外,即使考虑到学校网络的影响,职业学校毕业生的劳动力市场溢价仍保持稳定。敏感性分析证实了这些效应的稳健性。研究结果的含义在日本的技能形成制度的背景下进行了讨论。
