Book Overview
This lucid, hard-hitting book explores a central paradox of the Japanese economy: the relegation of women to low-paying, dead-end jobs in a workforce that depends on their labor to maintain its status as a world economic leader. Drawing upon historical materials, survey and statistical data, and extensive interviews in Japan, Mary Brinton provides an in-depth and original examination of the role of gender in Japan's phenomenal postwar economic growth.

Brinton's Strong Analysis
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Brinton's strong analysis of the current situation of Japanese women in the workplace is a perfect mix of economic data and sociological evidence. Her prose is excepetional. Anyone looking for insight into the labor market in Japan should look no further.
