在性别平等方面，日本仍然落后于其他发达国家。2012年，女性与男性研究人员的比例仅为14%，是发达国家中最低的。日本教育、文化、体育、科学和技术部（文部科学省）已开始实施支助女研究人员和发展其领导活动的方案。我们的调查显示，能够帮助年轻女性提升职业水平的高级职位女性太少了。此外，男性科学家在评价女同事时会有无意识的偏见。与此同时，女性科学家在寻求领导角色时往往低估了自己的能力。只有在日本的学术氛围和领导地位发生变化的情况下，文部科学省的方案才能对妇女在科学领域的比例和作用产生长期影响。在日本，政府和大学支持的长期战略对于克服性别差距和最大限度地发挥女科学家的潜力至关重要。
In gender equality, Japan is still lagging behind other developed nations. The ratio of female to male researchers is only at 14% in 2012, the lowest among developed countries. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in Japan has started the programs to support the female researchers and to develop their leadership activities. Our survey revealed that there are too few women in higher positions who can help younger women with career enhancement. Also, male scientists have unconscious bias when they evaluate their female colleagues. At the same time, female scientists often underestimate their ability when seeking leadership roles. The MEXT programs will only exert a long-term effect on the ratio and roles of women in science if the academic climate and leadership changes in Japan. In Japan, a long-term strategy with support by government and universities is essential to overcome the gender gap and maximize the potential of female scientists.
