Inequality in Japan: Japanese minister lashed out at his government, said - discrimination against women in politics, affected the economy

Discrimination against women is also a tragedy in Japan. Japan's Minister Saiko Noda said in an interview that our population is decreasing. The birth rate of children is the lowest in the country since the Second World War. There are many reasons for this, but the biggest reason is discrimination against women.

With this inequality the world's third-largest economy cannot grow, says Noda, one of only two women in the lower house of Japan's parliament. As a member of Parliament, I have realized that there is discrimination here.

declining population

Noda, who aspires to be the country's first woman prime minister, is worried about the country's declining population. They say that the youth of Japan do not want to marry and have children. In such a situation, soon it will be difficult to get youth for our army, fire department, etc. For this, there must be equal participation of women in every field.

Low participation of women in political activities

Noda said Japan is ranked 116th out of 146 countries in the World Economic Forum's 2022 report on the participation of women and men in the country's economic and political activities. This shows how much inequality there is in the country. He had suggested the introduction of a quota system to increase the participation of women in politics, but it was not agreed upon.
