On Japanese family farms, the gender-specific roles of men managing the farm and women caring for the family persist. In 1992, the Japanese government promoted a policy supporting women to serve as not only homemakers but also producers and managers in “A Medium- and Long-term Vision for Women of Rural Communities.” The content of the government’s Home Life Improvement Extension Service, which played a central role in policies for rural women, changed from domestic to management skills. In this chapter, we present an integrated literature review of Japanese studies on women leaders in agriculture, supplemented by career formation of women who established partnership management in family farming. |
