A héten valamelyik nap olvastam egy érdekes cikket a bloomberg egyik blogján Japánról, illetve jelenlegi miniszterelnökéről. Szemezgetnék belőle:
"Japan’s top social problem is the role of women. The sexism of corporate Japan is legendary, and many millions of Japanese women are underemployed and out of the labor force; yet instead of pushing women back to traditional child-rearing roles, this has mainly just lowered the fertility rate to sub-European levels. But since taking office, Abe -- whose party is famous for sexist gaffes -- has become the most feminist leader I’ve ever seen."
...
"And Abe is putting his money where his mouth is, with a raft of measures to improve working women’s access to affordable day care."
"He wants to eliminate day-care waiting lists by creating 200,000 new day-care openings in authorized public facilities by 2015, with another 200,000 by 2017. He wants businesses to double their child-care leave to three years. He wants 30 percent of leadership positions in government and business to be held by women by 2020. He is calling on Japanese corporations to appoint at least one woman to their boards. And he is considering both changes in tax laws that discourage mothers from working and new training subsidies to help them return to the workplace following child-care leave."
...
"He has even suggested bringing in 200,000 immigrants a year to supplement Japan’s shrinking labor force."
Hát innen pusszantom az anyukák nevében a kedves svájci népet és vezetőit, meg az állami óvoda- és iskolarendszert. Muhahahaaa!
És gratulálunk a svájci (pici irónia) focistáknak a mai győzelemhez! (Amit pont jókor kapcsoltunk be, és csak az utolsó három percét láttuk ifj. Igylivel Hopp Schwiizt kiabálva :))
