Comparative Gender Analysis of New Economy ; service, information and widening social gaps in aging societies

这项研究是对英国、德国、美国和日本在经济全球化时代本应产生的“新经济”的产业和工作组织变化进行的性别比较分析。据指出，尽管许多人争论工业和工作中的“不那么等级化”和“更灵活”的组织方式，但事实上，基于性别、阶级、族裔和知识的各种社会差距一直在扩大。不仅不应忽视放松管制和私有化的因素，而且不应忽视重新管制和加强安全网的因素，这关系到当前监管和福利国家改革的一个载体，这些现象与性别关系交织在一起。上述四个国家在世界上拥有强大的经济实力，相互之间形成了极好的对比。这四个国家尤其有不同的性别制度。美国在推广WME…方面是最先进的更多的n正在发挥作用。日本的性别制度似乎把女性的家庭角色放在了最优先的位置。这项研究调查并明确了横跨福利、行业、工作和家庭的性别制度是否一直在趋同，或者是否在强烈的路径依赖下一直在背离。2002年9月3日，东京大学举行了名为“全球化时代的新经济：美国、欧洲和日本的比较性别分析”的公开研讨会，与研究小组以外的学者和公民就这项研究的概念交换了意见。专题讨论会的成果刊登在“根台女权”第31卷第1期(2003年1月)的“跨国女权主义”特刊上。2003年9月底和2004年3月初，分别在不来梅大学和日本举办了与海外合作调查员的讲习班。为了向社会广泛传播这项研究的成果，2004年3月4日在东京大学举行的题为《全球化时代的新经济：美国、欧洲和日本的性别比较分析II》(第18届UT-ISS研讨会)的公众研讨会

This research is a comparative gender analysis of the United Kingdom, Germany, United State and Japan regarding the changes in industrial and work organization which would have been produced as "New Economy" in an era of economic globalization. It is pointed out that although many have argued about "less hierarchical" and "more flexible" way of organization in industry and work, in fact various social gaps based on gender, class, ethnicity and knowledge have been expanding. Not only the elements of deregulation and privatization but also the elements of re-regulation and strengthening safety net should not be overlooked, in relation to a vector of the current reformation of regulation and welfare states, and these phenomena intersect gender relations. Above four countries have strong economic power in the world and make implicationally an excellent contrast each other. These four countries have different gender regimes in particular. The United States is most advanced in promoting wome … More n's working. Japan's gender regime seems that woman's domestic roles are the highest priority. This research has investigated and made clear whether gender regimes cross cutting welfare, industry and working and family have been converging or whether it has been diverging under a strong path dependency.Namely the public symposium "New Economy in a Global Era : Comparative Gender Analysis of US, Europe and Japan" was held at University of Tokyo on September 3, 2002 to exchange opinions regarding the concepts of this research with scholars as well as citizens outside of the research group. The results of the symposium were published in the special issue "Transnational Feminism" in "Gendai Sisou" Vol.31 No.1 (January 2003). Workshops with overseas co-investigators were held in the University of Bremen at the end of September, 2003 and in Japan at the beginning of March,2004.
