| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is an exaggeration to say that WLB is in vogue like gender equality. Also, in academic fields in Japan, Europe, and the United States, WLB studies have been vigorously discussed, and a number of papers have been published since the 21st century. However a WLB policy has been misconstrued as applying only to women because the ideology of the sexual division of work has not been totally dispelled; many women work away from home compared to the old days. This gives a false impression that if working women can easily take maternity leave or childcare leave, many women will have an opportunity to work, which appears to result in gender equality in society. In this interpretation, it has been considered important that company quality should be improved to make maternity leave or childcare leave available to female employees. This study could show that seafaring could be an initial strategic move to realize real gender equality in the workplace.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
船員労働の特殊性は、内航、外航ともに数ヶ月に及ぶ勤務（乗船）後に、長期休暇が与えられるという「特殊な勤務形態」にあり、それは、乗船中は長期にわたってプライベート・ライフから断絶されるということを意味する。一般的な職業以上に、「船員業」においては、女性は結婚や出産のために離職を余儀なくされる確率が高いということである。船員としてキャリアパスを志す女性たちが、離職することなく仕事を継続するためには、船員業のWLBを実現させることが最重要課題であると考えられるが、本研究における社会的・学術的意義は、女性船員のWLB実現への方向性を明らかにしたことである。
