Womenomics, Patriarchy, and Gender Relations in Japan.

The provided academic article analyzes the *implications of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s "womenomics" policy* on the professional and social relationships between male and female workers in Japan. The authors use a conceptual framework centered on *patriarchal culture* to examine how this traditional societal structure influences the policy's implementation, ultimately concluding that deep-seated patriarchy has *prevented womenomics from significantly improving the position of women* beyond its primary role as an economic growth strategy. While the policy has positively increased the number of female workers, the persistence of patriarchal norms has led to negative social consequences, including *maternity harassment ("matahara"), the rise of "single parasites," and the phenomenon of "hikikomori"* among men whose traditional roles are threatened. Overall, the research suggests that womenomics, despite its economic successes, *has not fully achieved its gender equality goals* due to cultural resistance.
