Abstract

Through Marxist and Socialist feminism frameworks, this paper seek to evaluate the conditions of women in Japan and especially in technology sector. The Marxist and Socialist argue that the economic dependence on a husband and the patriarchy in the government is oppressing women. Whether women are workers and also mothers, or just mothers depend on the state’s needs. In Japan, while Education and Employment rates in women increase drastically in the past two decades, many women chose low-pay or part-time jobs, gender wage gap still remain large up until today, and mothers still face numerous hardships. Employed women around the world encounter many challenges, such as work-family conflict, hostile workplace environment, harassment, lack of mentorship. The situation in technology sector is expected to be worse than that. By comparing the United States with Japan about women in tech, we can see and understand the difficulties of women in technology sector in not just Japan but also United States.
