Center for Japanese Studies Seminar Series

Professor Glenda S. Roberts (Waseda University, Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies, CJS Visiting Scholar and EWC Visiting Fellow) will give a talk titled, "Women Executives in Corporate Japan: Navigating the Tensions between Family and Fortune."

The vast majority of married Japanese women quit their jobs by the time their first baby is born. But what of those who don't? How do they and their spouses manage two careers with baby? Is there a "life" after work is over and the baby is in bed?

Her interview research at two large firms in Tokyo, one a multinational US firm and the other, a Japanese multinational firm, gives us some clues to the lifestyles of 30 and 40-something married, well-educated, female executives with children, and to an extent, the lives of their spouses and children as well.
