Ketimpangan gender di Jepang: bagaimana patriarki menghambat pertumbuhan ekonomi
Perekonomian Jepang tengah berada di bawah tekanan, disebabkan mulai dari kenaikan harga energi dan biaya pertahanan sampai dampak pandemi. Menurunnya tingkat kelahiran dan populasi yang menua semakin mengancam keberlanjutan pasar tenaga kerjanya. Sebuah studi tahun 2023 oleh think-tank independen, Recruit Works Institute, memprediksi bahwa Jepang akan kekurangan pasokan tenaga kerja sebesar 3,41 juta orang pada tahun 2030, dan lebih dari 11 juta pada tahun 2040.
How gender inequality is hindering Japan’s economic growth
Japan’s economy is under pressure from rising energy prices and defense costs and the impact of the pandemic.

A 2023 study by independent thinktank the Recruit Works Institute points to a labor supply shortage of 3.41 million people by 2030, and over 11 million by 2040. Gender inequality is another significant pressure point.

Gender inequality: less of it would help Japan's economy
Plummeting birth rates and an ageing population have long been highlighted as existential threats to the Japanese labour market. By 2040, demographers suggest the country’s workforce will be short by at least 11 million people – that’s a hole the size of the population of the Paris metro area. The third crucial pressure point is Japan’s woeful record on gender equality. It sits near the bottom not just in G7 rankings, but globally.
