Japan Is Bringing Housewives Back To The Labor Force

JAPAN'S POPULATION CONTINUES TO SHRINK AND PART OF THE
REASON WHY IS BECAUSE THE BIRTH RATE IN THE COUNTRY IS
INCREDIBLY LOW AND THAT IS A PROBLEM THAT WE HAD BROUGHT
UP AND TALKED ABOUT ON THE SHOW QUITE A BIT.
HOWEVER, IT IS HAVING A REAL NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE
ECONOMY IN JAPAN.
THE WORKFORCE NEEDS MORE WORKERS AND EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A
PROBLEM WITH THE POPULATION SHRINKING, THERE'S ALSO THE
ISSUE OF FOREIGN WORKERS.
JAPAN DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF FOREIGN WORKERS AND SO AS A
RESULT, OWNERS OF COMPANIES ARE TRYING TO THINK OF CREATIVE
WAYS TO GET PEOPLE WHO DO NOT TYPICALLY WORK BACK INTO
THE WORKFORCE AND THEIR FOCUSING SPECIFICALLY ON HOUSEWIVES.
THERE ARE A LOT OF CONVENIENCE STORE TRAINS OR FAST FOOD
RESTAURANTS THAT ARE NOW TRYING TO ENGAGE WITH HOUSEWIVES
AND THEY ARE TRYING TO CONVINCE THEM TO COME BACK INTO THE
WORKFORCE AND GO THROUGH SOME TRAINING JUST SO THEY CAN
HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO RUN THEIR COMPANIES.
CAN I JUST SAY, THAT IS A
TERRIBLE SLOGAN.
MCDONALD'S: NO PROBLEM.
WHY, WAS THEIR PROBLEM?
THEY ARE TRANSLATING IT FROM JAPANESE.
I AM SURE IT MEANS I KNOW IT'S A PAIN IN THE ASS TO WORK, BUT
DON'T WORRY, WE WILL BE FLEXIBLE, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
SAYING?
MAYBE THAT IS A BETTER TRANSLATION.
ONE EXECUTIVE AT MCDONALD'S SAYS:
I'M GLAD THERE ARE NO STEREOTYPES IN THERE.
IN JAPAN THE PAY GAP IS PRETTY BAD THAT IT IS THE SECOND WAS
COUNTRY IN TERMS OF A GENDER PAY GAP AMONG ECONOMICALLY
DEVELOPED COUNTRIES.
OBVIOUSLY YES.
BUT THAT PROBABLY SPEAKS TO WHY THAT TYPE OF, IS OPENLY
MADE AND PEOPLE DO NOT CRITICIZE IT.
NO QUESTION.
SOUTH KOREA BY THE WAY IS THE WORST IN DISPARITY BUT TO BE
FAIR TO THE JAPANESE, THEIR FEMALE PARTICIPATION RATE IN THE
ECONOMY IS HIGHER THAN OURS SO MORE WOMEN WORK IN JAPAN
THAN THEY DO IN THE UNITED STATES.
THAT'S KIND OF BANANAS.
ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT THE PERCENTAGE OF HOUSEWIVES IN
THE WORKFORCE IN JAPAN IS ABOUT 20%.
THE PERCENTAGE OF JAPANESE WOMEN IN THE WORK FIRST
EXPERIENCED A SHARP DROP ONCE WOMEN IN INNER THEIR 30S
FROM 80% AGE 29 TO JUST OVER 71% FROM THE AGES TO 38 TO 39.
AS THEY GET OLDER AND THEY HAVE KIDS THEY ARE LESS LIKELY
TO BE IN THE WORKFORCE HOWEVER, THE LEADER OF JAPAN IS
TRYING TO CHANGE THAT BY MAKING CHILDCARE MORE AVAILABLE,
BY ENCOURAGING WOMEN TO GO OUT THERE COME INTO THE WORK FIRST
AFTER THEY'VE KIDS AND AGAIN, JAPAN'S FEMALE LABOR MARKET
PARTICIPATION RATE HAS SURPASSED THAT OF THE UNITED STATES
AND IS NO LONGER LOW COMPARED TO OTHER ADVANCED COUNTRIES.
AND FINALLY TO STAND GIVING THEM CREDIT, IT IS SHINZ?
ABEíS
PLAN AT WORK THERE, IT BROUGHT MORE WOMEN INTO THE
WORKFORCE WITH A VERY SIMPLE IDEA.
THEY HAVE KIDS, ESPECIALLY THE OLDER WOMEN WHO THEN WANT
TO GET INTO THE WORKFORCE AFTER INITIALLY HAVING KIDS YOU
HAVE TO GIVE THEM CHILD SERVICES.
ONCE YOU DO THAT IT TURNS OUT THEY WANT TO WORK BUT HERE
IN AMERICA WE ARE LIKE NO, YOU CAN BARELY TAKE ANY TIME
OFF AND IT MIGHT NOT BE PAID AT ALL OF YOU HAVE KIDS.
IN THE BEGINNING AND THEN LATER, CHILDCARE.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU CHILDCARE.
HERE ARE SOME BOOTSTRAPS.
IT TURNS OUT IF YOU DO CHILDCARE, MORE WOMEN WILL
WORK DIANE MAKES SENSE.
LOOK, ABE SAW THAT AS AN ECONOMIC SOLUTION WAS HERE
IN THE UNITED STATES IT IS NOT SEEN AS THAT.
IT ABSOLUTELY IS.
IF YOU WANT MORE WOMEN TO GO OUT THERE
AND NOT FEEL BURDENED BY THE COST OF CHILDCARE, YOU WANT
THEM TO BE PART OF THE ECONOMY, TO BE PRODUCTIVE.
BY THE WAY, PEOPLE WHO STAY HOME AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR KIDS
ARE ALSO PRODUCTIVE BUT I MEAN SPECIFICALLY ECONOMICALLY
PRODUCTIVE.
IF YOU WANTED TO HAPPEN, YOU NEED TO MAKE IT A LITTLE
EASIER ON THEM.
WE DON'T HAVE MANDATORY MATERNITY OR PATERNITY LEAVE
AND WE ALSO CAN'T AFFORD, MOST OF US CAN'T AFFORD HOW EXPENSIVE
CHILDCARE IS RIGHT NOW THOUGHT IT IS SO CRAZY EXPENSIVE.
HOW DO PEOPLE DO IT?
IF YOU HAVE KIDS, WHAT DO YOU DO?
IN THE BIG CITIES IS INSANE AND IF YOU DON'T LIVE BY
YOUR PARENTS AND FAMILY, YOU ARE TOTALLY SCREWED AND THE
GOVERNMENT IS NOT GOING TO HELP YOU.
NOBODY IS.
GEE, I WONDER WHY THE YOUNGER ADMINISTRATION THINKS THE
MIXED ECONOMY IS NOT ABOUT IDEA.
