Women in Japan
Breakthroughs in Female Business Leadership
With the movement for gender equality gaining momentum around the world, the gender situation in Japan is drawing attention both domestically and internationally. KAS Japan will hold a series of events titled, 'Women in Japan', to explore current developments in Japan's gender environment. Our third webinar, 'Women in Japan: Breakthroughs in Women Business Leadership' will focus on the business aspect out of the three pillars of politics, business, and society. We will focus on Germany, a country which has historically similar views on gender roles to Japan but is more advanced in gender equality. Through Germany’s evolving policies, we can learn pragmatic and realistic next steps for Japan. During the webinar, we intend to discuss possible policy recommendations, which – once formulated – help to foster change to improve the current situation in Japan for future women business leaders.

Updating Gender Roles in Society
With the movement for gender equality gaining momentum around the world, the gender situation in Japan is drawing attention both domestically and internationally. KAS Japan will hold a series of events titled, 'Women in Japan', to explore current developments in Japan's gender environment. Our second webinar, 'Women in Japan: Updating Gender Roles in Society' will focus on the societal aspect out of the three pillars of politics, business, and society. We will look at Scandinavian countries (mainly Norway) that had been successful in their gender policy on the societal front and learn how they have achieved their current gender situation by comparing it with the present state in Japan. Through the webinar, we aim to make policy recommendations to foster change in the gender situation in Japanese society.
Discussion
KAS German-Japanese Economic Policy Exchange
Economic policy in view of a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic: A comparative view of Japanese and German/EU strategies
With the COVID-19 pandemic seemingly nowhere near its end, there is a need to shift our mentality from life “after” COVID-19 to one of living “with” COVID-19. Our first online event in the series of the KAS German-Japanese Economic Policy Exchange, “Economic policy in view of a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic: A comparative view of Japanese and German/EU strategies”, will precisely look at this “new normal” from the business angle.
