The Economic Engine of Womenomics
Buckle up and zoom into the economic fast lane with “Womenomics,” Japan’s game-changing strategy that kicked off in 2013. Spearheaded by former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, this policy aimed to boost Japan’s sputtering economy by tapping into a massively underutilized resource: women. The goal was to increase female participation in the workforce and shatter the glass ceilings holding back half the population.
Womenomics isn’t just about filling seats; it’s about empowering women with better jobs, higher wages, and a bigger voice in business. It’s a work in progress, but the gears are shifting, and the potential economic turbocharge from women could be just the rev-up Japan needs.
