| Summary: | This paper aimed to identify the contributions of Japanese women politicians in postwar Japan. The researchers, through secondary sources and interviews, gathered data. The researchers identified the implications of the number of the politicians, movements that has been passed and as well as the perceptions of the Japanese regarding the women politicians. The researchers then found out that even though the numbers of women politicians in Japan has been increasing, women empowerment continues to decline (measured through the Gender Empowerment Measurement or GEM conducted by the UNDP) thus implying that women politicians in Japan does not contribute much or directly to women empowerment but does not however mean that they are inefficient or useless. The researchers also found out the women populace vote in favor more on the party rather than the individual (which maybe indicated by affiliations, same gender, etc.) |
