Abstract
<p> The Basic Law for a Gender-Equal Society positions realization of a gender-equal society as "the most important issue of the 21st century" and is aimed at establishing social systems without gender bias. In 2009, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan initiated the program "Supporting Positive Activities for Female Researchers". Japan is well-qualified as a country that promotes scientific advancement. However, the ratio of female professionals in science, technology, engineering and mathematics field is at only 14.7% in 2016, which is far behind other developed countries. We need to rethink our prejudiced notions of gender-based roles, so that we may realize a society where men and women can participate together at the workplace and at home. This panel discussion aims to enhance the understanding of gender equality and gender-related issues in Japan, and to review and debate how we could close gender gaps.</p>
