Abstract

The issue of gender inequality is one of the big problems that Japan is facing nowadays. In the annual survey of the Women Economic Forum, Japan often occupies the lowest position in the indicators of women's participation in politics. This issue became one of Shinzo Abe's priorities when he was elected Prime Minister in 2012. Through a major policy during his administration known as Abenomics, Shinzo Abe introduced Womenomics as a gender-based policy strategy to increase women's participation in the workforce, including in politics. Womenomics was developed into several policies that are expected to provide a sense of security for women to be involved in politics so that women's participation rates were expected to increase. This article examines the implementation of Womenomics on women's participation in Japanese domestic politics from 2013 to 2020. It employs the qualitative approach and uses liberal feminism theory as its analytical framework. The data used in this study were secondarily obtained from various sources of books and publications by the Japanese government.

Abstract

The informal economy is a common economic activity in Indonesia. Participation in the informal economy is predominantly carried out by women, particularly those belonging to the urban poor. This study aims to fill the research gap regarding the adaptation of women entrepreneurs to digital payments by using Naila Kabeer's Gender and Poverty Theory as an analytical tool that generally highlights the process of poverty that is closely related to gender relations and positions women as an adjustment variable in the poverty trap. This study uses a qualitative research approach with a case study research type. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with two informants who are also micro and small business owners in Bidara Cina with two different characteristics: business owners who provide cashless transactions and business owners who do not provide cashless transactions. The results show that women entrepreneurs have the burden of reproductive responsibilities as well as being business owners, which places women in a subordinate position as well as an adjustment variable in the family economy. The burden of domestic work and care affects the running of businesses carried out by women entrepreneurs. The condition of women as entrepreneurs is also increasingly vulnerable due to limited access and control over resources, knowledge, and service systems in the digital economy, which makes it difficult for women micro and small business owners. Digital economic policies also cause shocks due to the unpreparedness of women entrepreneurs to adapt due to various multidimensional problems that further strengthen the unequal position of women in the economy, especially in the digital economy.
