説明

The purpose of this study is to examine the M-shaped labor-force participation of Japanese women, with particular focus on women workers who leave their jobs from the ages of 30 to 34. Two approaches developed by Kanter (1977) can be applied to explain the reason for why these women resign: one is an individual approach and the other a structural approach. The author suggests that a structural approach is a more effectively explanatory model than an individual approach in explaining why women in their thirties quit their jobs. According to Kanter, the structural model is comprised of three variables: the structure of opportunity within the organization, the structure of power, the proportional distribution of people of different kinds. In this study attention is particularly directed to the structure of opportunity and the proportional distribution of people for discussing Japanese women's labor pattern.
