Outline of Final Research Achievements

In Japan, large firms typically tend to provide employees with long-term on-the-job training and the promotion speeds to managers are likely to be slow. This may account for its low women’s share among managers, together with the inconsistent application across countries of the classification of occupations. The international comparison across nine OECD Member Countries has revealed that women’s shares among managers tend to be higher in the countries with relatively more importance of educational attainment for promotion to managers and early selection practices to managers than in the countries with relatively smaller importance of educational attainment for promotion to managers and late selection practices to managers like Japan. It is also suggested that other factors like work-life-balance might be important determinants of women’s share among managers.
