Overview
25 years have passed since Kathy Matsui coined the term 'Womenomics' in which she argues that - as important as increasing immigration and the birthrate are - a more immediate and effective solution to Japan's economic stagnation is to increase the participation of women in the workforce, with greater equity and managerial responsibility. Since the first report was released in 1999, there has been a growing realization that gender diversity in the workplace is no longer simply an option, but an economic and business imperative.
Join us for a conversation with Kathy Matsui - the pioneer of 'Womenomics' - on 19 March to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her initial publication. We will take stock of progress thus far, identity areas for improvement, and discuss policy recommendations.
