Abstract
This study examines the dimensionality of utilization of women employed at the tertiary industries in Japan to determine how female work force is utilized in the companies. The researcher analyzed data compiled in “Kaishashikihou Joshigakusei-shushokuban '98” and found two dimensions of utilization of female employees: 1)“the proportion of female managers and the proportion of women taking maternity leave”, and 2)“the average tenure of female employees and the proportion of the married.”Using the two axes derived from the data analysis, the tendencies of utilization of female employees among five industries were compared. The service industry scores high in both dimensions. The retail trade has a high score in the first dimension, but is low in the second. Conversely, the general trade (sogo-shosha) as well as the financing and insurance are positioned low in the first dimension and higher in the second with the general trade more so in each of these dimensions. Other wholesale trade scores low in both dimensions. This research suggests a need for reforming a plan to maximize the female labor participation with consideration to each dimension for utilization of female employees.
