Outline of Final Research Achievements

The main findings of the project are the following three. First, based on the original survey of STEM field researchers, Takahashi et al. (2018) find that a 6% pay gap exists after controlling for research productivity. They do not find a motherhood wage penalty. Second, Kawabata and Abe (2018) explore intra-metropolitan spatial patterns of female labor force participation in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and find that married mothers residing in the inner suburbs tend to work less than married mothers residing elsewhere. Finally, Kodama et al. (2018) examine the effect of foreign ownership on gender-related employment outcomes and work practices in Japan. The analysis suggests that foreign affiliates in Japan seem to utilize female workforce effectively. Therefore, the foreign direct investment has a potential to improve allocation of female talent.
