Abstract
There are many studies of the effect of human capital on individual labor market out-comes and on the contribution of educational institutions to an individual's human, social, and cultural capital. Logistic regression analyses, using data on women's job placement in Japan, showed that a feminine characteristics and support from school were important for being hired by large companies for clerical jobs. This paper argues that there are forms of capital that are specific to women's employment outcome in the Japanese labor market. This lays the basis for gender discrimination and a “glass ceiling” on women's advancement in corporate Japan.
