In this lecture, I will first introduce the systems under which Japanese women have historically been subjected to gender control. In particular, I will focus on gender barriers in the Japanese labour market and structural inequalities at home and at work. The second part of my talk will address to which extent recent gov-ernmental policies and changes in company practices and societal discourse have led to an advancement of Japanese women and a weakening of gender inequalities.
