Japanese Life Rules That Might Seem Foreign To Visitors

Japan's Gender Pay Gap Is Wide

There is a huge income disparity between men and women in Japan. It's one of the worst in the globe, especially in highly developed countries, because it's so vast. That's because it's a part of Japanese culture that women are supposed to make less money than men. But recent Japanese prime ministers have sought to fix the problem with mixed results. That being said, Japanese women are in command of the money when they are married.

Husbands are actually expected to give their wives their money so they can do anything they want with it. Companies in Japan still have a long way to go to close the gender wage gap.
