Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I conducted interviews in a number of Japanese supermarkets and department stores. The employment structure has consisted of three strata: male regular employees; female regular employees; and part-timers. With the birth of part-timers who rise up the career ladder, it is in the stratum of female regular employees where hiring has been curtailed and the numbers have shrunk. The number of people in the stratum of male regular employees who are the candidates for managerial positions has remained basically the same throughout the twenty years. The change that has occurred in these twenty years can be phrased thus: personnel decisions which were made according to gender have changed, and now the tasks that were mostly carried out by female, regular employees have been taken over by full time, non-regular employees. There have been no qualitative changes to these jobs within the personnel management system, and thus this marks only a revision of the ‘status’ system.
