Ethnic issues in Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2005, a United Nations report expressed concerns about racism in Japan and that government recognition of the depth of the problem was not total.[1][2] The author of the report, Doudou Diène (Special Rapporteur of the UN Commission on Human Rights), concluded after a nine-day investigation that racial discrimination and xenophobia in Japan primarily affects three groups: national minorities, descendants of former Japanese colonies and foreigners from other Asian countries.[3]
How Sexism in Japan Worsens Its Debt Outlook
That faint cracking noise heard around Japan this week is the sound of its glass ceiling being breached. At least that's the hope as this male-dominated society waits to see if a woman will run a major Japanese company for the first time. Japan hardly has a monopoly on discrimination, yet how often does the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) urge a developed nation to provide women more job opportunities to boost growth? It's doing just that in Japan, where even the minister in charge of gender issues is a man.
