The most misunderstood question
What is quota system?
General term
"quota system is a method of setting a limit on how much of something a country or company is allowed to have, produce, import, etc." It is used in various fields, for example, in the political world, universities, companies, and so on. (Cambridge Dictionary)
Specific term - hiring quotas.
Hiring quotas are a method for establishing quantitative data and action points for hiring diverse candidates. Moreover, Hiring quotas attempt to increase the representation of historically marginalized or under-represented groups.
How does the quota system affect work life balance?
12.7%
We need more women in decision-making positions to impact the state of the working environment
In 2022, only 12.7% of women were in management positions (Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare)
How does the quota system affect work life balance?
Countries that have already implemented the quota system such as France and Norway have already tripled or quadrupled in the amount of female employment rate.
Studies show that there is a difference in how men and women feel about work-life balance
By raising the female employment rate and putting more women in management positions there will be a better chance for women’s insight to affect the decision-making in working environment and style.
