Japanese women still play secondary role

Japanese women often look as though they just stepped out of a fashion magazine when they emerge from a subway train. But few step ahead of men.

Indeed, in this male-dominated society, women have a few chances to get ahead. The way parents bring up their children as well as the education system produce a society that puts women as secondary to men. The working system also shows strongly the social attitudes towards men and women. Women are given lighter jobs with hardly any challenges. Even intelligent and educated women are considered as the 'shokuba no hana,' or flowers of the workplace.

Unable to fight the system, many have decided to go away. Among ambitious women, Hong Kong is a popular place to move to. Although pay in the British colony is not as in Tokyo, women are treated equally in work.

The disadvantages of being a working woman in Japan have become more serious during the past three years, as the economic downturn has forced companies to reduce their personnel. And women are always the first to go because fewer women work in senior positions as managers or in professional jobs as doctors or lawyers.

At least two Japanese firms have admitted that they will cut back on their workplace by reducing women employees and limiting recruitment of female applicants.

A similar situation was also found to be true for non-university graduates. Both these finding added up to a 29% fall in the number of women hired this year.

11.  What factors that make it difficult for working women to get ahead in Japan?

A.      Education

B.      Low pay

C.     Tradition upbringing

D.     Tight competition

12.  The reason why Japanese women like to work in Hong Kong is ….

A.      lighterjobs

B.      no gender discrimination

C.     better facilities

D.     more challenging

13. According to the article, what type of employment do only fewer Japanese women work in?

A.      managers

B.      lecturers

C.     civil servants

D.     shop keepers

14. The recent survey shows: ….

A.      Many companies lay off their employees.

B.      Japanese women work in Hong Kong.

C.     Firms are hiring more female than male.

D.     More university graduates got job stbannon-university graduates.

1 5. According to the article, what is true about Hong Kong?

A.      In-Hong Kong employees get better pay than in Japan.

B.      Hong Kong is freer than Japan.

C.     In Hong Kong, women are treated equally in work.

D.     Many women work as managers, doctors, or lawyers.
