The Inequalities between Men and Women in the Japanese Labour Market : A Regulationist Approach
ARAI, Misako

open access
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the changing situation of the Japanese working women since the beginning of the 1990s in the 1990s in a Regulationist perspective. We enrich the concept of Toyotist wage-labour nexus by taking into account the gender. It means, we do not restrain the analysis of working women to the labour market, but we also study the sphere of labour force reproduction. To sum up, we point out a phenomenon of “polarization” among the Japanese working women. Namely at least two groups among female workers are emerging : one is constituted by regular workers, who are treated (almost) similarly to their male counterparts, another one by part-timers, who experience poor working conditions. Another noticeable finding is the change of composition in the differential structure of the Japanese labour market : recently the sex is not the main criterion to understand the inequalities in Japan. It means that the concept of segmentation should be seriously amended to lead to a more satisfying theoretical analysis of the inequalities between men and women in Japan since the beginning of the 1990s.
