| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to identify whether a women' s higher education will influence her career prolongation, fertility rate and child rearing behavior. An investigation conducted as to how childhood education/ home environment can affect later outcomes. We found that psychological factors of fertility and childrearing are underpinnings by which social norms can negatively affect highly educated women. Based on the results, we examined the correlation between academic skills and home environment using IV techniques. However, we could not get any significant results from these factors. Demographic and workplace factors influence the extent to which women of different educational backgrounds estimate their motherhood wage penalty confirming in our study that highly educated women do not suffer from it. This is due to the long working hours and the demands at work. These findings imply that Japanese women do not gain any advantage in the employment environment from their human capital accumulation.
