TEDxTokyo - Kathy Matsui - Womenomics - [English]

Inspiring!

great

The thesis is important but the use of data is a real sophism. She broke all rule of statistic and said: "if you don't believe in stats" . I am data scientist and the presented data is not supporting her though unfortunately.

I wish she was the prime minister of Japan!

great inspiring talk!

I like here so much!!!

What is the MAGIC of the Okinawans ?
Long penises and big fertile wombs ?

I remember before the crash she told me the US market would never crash like the Japanese market, and I believed her, lmao.

She is doing this too (relatively) objectively. Japanese men/business leaders need a huge punch in the face as a wake-up call. They need to know how seriously doomed Japan is they can't fix the labor market and get women to work. Japanese men need to stop being so old-fahioned and "Big Man." Women need to Lean In as well. Though 60% of women are in the workforce, many of them are in the relatively unproductive and low pay professions.

probably wise to remember that this is a one-sided argument. e.g. the birthrates might be higher where participation is higher in the current environment, but not in the recent past (and possibly future)..... also, to employ a woman in many cases might mean not employing a man.. (number of jobs are limited) etc..... those are just a couple of egs I dreamt up -- let me know if i'm wrong here I would expect that population density has the highest (neg) correlation with birth rates

Japan is a conservative society based on unspoken consensus, a by-product of the Japanese culture itself. Despite a few brave souls, the majority of Japanese are quite content with the status quo, and are willing to trade economic progress and increased diversity for the comfort of egalitarian, uniculture way of living especially in the uncertain world of today. Economic empires rise and fall and Japan is no exception.

Matsui San, Im very happy you came around and began embracing affirmative action. I think that japanese women like my wife will do well in Japan. Thanks to my direction, with an LLM and an MBA from the west, she will be one of those role models to japanese women.

Dude, I said all these things in my 2009 book, 'Black Passenger Yellow Cabs: A Memoir of Exile and Excess in Japan. I love Japan, been living here since 2001. But Japan is hopeless collectively. Japan would rather cut off its nose and spite its face, than make major changes. That being said, there have been some improvements since my arrival a decade ago. But boy, it has been teeth extractingly slow. Ganbatte Matsui San.
