The gender gap in the Japanese household

Abstract

I would like to discuss discrimination between women and men in Japanese families. However, before I begin, I would like to ask a question: what is the name of the Ukrainian writer who received a Master’s degree at the University of Tokyo? Her name is Olga Khomenko. I read an essay of hers and I was surprised to know that many women have a second job in Ukraine. For example, a woman who works as a doctor on weekdays also works at a museum on weekends. Or full-time mothers are often taking courses to complete their Master’s degree. After reading that many women usually have a second source of income, one should expect that this is quite normal in Ukraine.
