Abe on Womenomics, part 3: International Efforts & Conclusions: Excerpt from Opening Address to the World Assembly of Women, Tokyo, August 28, 2015

by Boris Groysberg

Abstract

This video supplement is a lightly edited excerpt of a 2015 speech by Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe in which he describes Womenomics--policies and aspirations to promote greater economic participation by Japan's women, thereby promoting economic growth, greater work/life balance, and, implicitly, increased gender equality. Presented to an international convocation of women, Abe's remarks include international comparisons and commitments. The speech (in Japanese with English subtitles) is presented both in its entirety and in three segments to offer faculty flexibility to use part or all of it in support of the paper case, "Womenomics in Japan," HBS No. 417-002. This video is the third segment of the speech.
