Double truth: Employment insecurity and gender inequality in Japan’s neoliberal promotion of side jobs
The ‘Work Style Reform’ (WSR) initiative, spearheaded by the late former Prime Minister Shinzō Abe, has advocated for the adoption of ‘fukugyō’ (‘side jobs’) as an additional source of income for workers. While this initiative is often uncritically viewed as a possible solution to insecure employment, especially for women employed in low-paying, temporary positions, this article argues that the WSR’s promotion of fukugyō, reinforces patriarchal n…
Employment Disadvantages among Asian Nesb Skilled Migrants in Australia: The Case of Japanese Independent Professionals
Since the late 20th century, skilled labour migration has become a primary channel for resolving the increased global competition, ageing workforces, and skill shortages facing industrialised countries. Despite this ongoing policy trend, skilled migrants – who are increasingly from non-English speaking backgrounds (NESBs), including Asia – confront barriers to securing employment that is commensurate with their skill levels, which exposes them to…
The Kaji-Hara (housework harassment) debates: The gendering of housework in contemporary Japan
Japan’s gender gap in housework—the second largest in the OECD countries—has come sharp focus with its female employment on the rise. Why are women and men in Japan still struggling to share housework? This article examines this question, analysing relatively newly emerged representations of ‘kaji-hara’. The Japanese neologism ‘kaji-hara’—a shortened form of the phrase ‘housework harassment’—has garnered much public attention, since Japan’s leadi…

Australia is now the second most popular destination for Japanese permanent residents. What is behind the increase in Japanese emigration, and why has Australia become one of the most popular destinations? In…
