- Abstract
- The article gives a brief overview of demographic trends in Japan after World War II, and also provides forecasts of age structure changes in Japanese society until the middle of the XXI century and of the subsequent working age population number reduction in the country. Increase in female economic activity is pointed out as one of the possible methods of filling up the upcoming workforce shortage and gender inequality is marked out as a significant obstacle to its practical application.The gender inequality level is examined in various areas of the life of Japanese society - business, politics, science - in comparison with other leading developed countries and the steps taken by the government of the country to overcome the problem are described. Also some estimations of the possible positive economic impact of overcoming gender inequality in Japan are cited in the article.
