Japan's ranking on economic development indicators falls significantly behind its peers, while its performance on gender equality indicators remains relatively low. This book aims to provide insights into the underlying factors contributing to this disparity, exploring the relationship between gender inequality and neoliberal policies, as well as their impact on social reproduction. Through a series of engaging chapters, authored by leading Japanese scholars in dialogue with feminist economists from Mexico and the United Kingdom, the book sheds light on the ongoing debates and analyses surrounding these critical issues.

The chapters in this volume offer valuable perspectives on gender inequality in Japan, examining its relationship with class and comparing it to other countries. The book delves into the impact of neoliberal policies on gender inequality and explores the consequences of these policies for social reproduction. By presenting the insights of leading Japanese scholars in conversation with feminist economists from Mexico and the United Kingdom, the book showcases the dynamic and evolving nature of the debate surrounding these issues.

The chapters in this book were originally published in The Japanese Political Economy, a renowned journal in the field of political economy. This publication provides a platform for scholars to engage in critical discussions and share their research on important social and economic topics. The book contributes to the growing body of literature on gender inequality in Japan and offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the country in the 2020s and beyond.
