From Gender Equality Committee in JSCR
The ratio of female professionals in Science including humanities, social science and natural science is only 15.3% in 2016, which is far behind other developed countries. In order to overcome these gender gaps, JSCR joined “The Japan Inter-Society Liaison Association Committee for Promoting Equal Participation of Men and Women in Science and Engineering (EPMEWSE)” in 2005 and is working for gender equality in Japan.
