In the first phase, from the 1990s, the focus was on guaranteeing women¡¯s legal childcare leave time; In the second phase, from 2000 to 2009, the focus was on realizing women¡¯s balance between working and raising children; And in the third phase, from 2010 to the present, the focus of the work policy has shifted to the cultivation of women¡¯s management and the development of women¡¯s career potentials. These three phases reflect the changes in women¡¯s consciousness in Japanese society, but the gender division of labor in which ¡°men are breadwinners; Women are homemakers¡± has not yet been fundamentally changed, and there is still a long way to go before equality between men and women in the workplace can be realized. %K Shiseido Company %K Women¡¯s Work Policy %K Gender Equality %U http://www.oalib.com/paper/6840965
