Abstract

On the basis of interview materials, this article describes the organizational and attitudinal barriers Japanese women face in respect to recruitment and career mobility in Japanese corporations and the career implications of their roles as wives and mothers. Forces for change in the position of white‐collar and managerial women are also examined, with particular reference to the internationalization of the Japanese economy and society.
