| Summary |
Compared to men, women have shorter service years, are less likely to be trained through long-term education and training within companies, and are placed in situations where they are less likely to obtain suitable employment opportunities (occupations) that require advanced skills and offer high compensation. Therefore, occupations that do not require long-term education and training within a company, that is, occupations that do not require special skills within a company, occupations that are socially acceptable beyond the company in terms of skills and experience, and occupations that require advanced skills should be good employment opportunities for women. In this context, it is essential to research such employment fields and clarify their characteristics when considering employment development for women, as professional occupations are considered to be promising occupational fields. The labor market for professionals has been expanding and diversifying as industries become more sophisticated. The growth rate of the number of female workers in professional and technical occupations is exceptionally high. It is necessary to clarify the actual status of employment by type of female professionals, which has been growing at such a high rate. In this study, designers were selected as the object of study because they cover all types of professional occupations, and many women are employed in these occupations when the professional occupations are classified according to the degree of restriction of the organization (means of production) and whether they work alone or in groups. The data provided by SSJDA, which are included in the report, are from a survey of offices of design firms in Tokyo. The report also includes two other individual surveys of designers: a questionnaire survey of individuals and a case study. |
