abstract: 'This paper attempts to explore the connections between expanding female
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education and the participation of women in paid employment in Japan,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
China and India, three of Asia''s largest economies. Analysis based on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
existing data and literature shows that despite the large expansion in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
educational access in these countries in the last half century, women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
have lacked egalitarian labour market opportunities. A combination of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social discouragement and individual choice largely explains the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
withdrawal, non-participation or intermittent female presence in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour force, notwithstanding increased educational access. In taking
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stock of these issues and debates across these countries, it is argued
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that the parallel experiences of women in these countries can be traced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
back to persistent gender norms which, amongst other things, imply the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
centrality of marriage and non-market unpaid labour for women. The paper
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
argues that there is a need for gender-sensitive public policy in order
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for increased education to translate to labour market gains for women,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
leading to sustainable development outcomes.'
