| Abstract | Traditional Japanese values discourage women from working outside the home. This research describes and compares Japanese men's and women's beliefs regarding employment of women. Questionnaires were distributed to approximately 900 Japanese men and women, and t-tests were used to test for differences between the men's and women's groups. Results showed that, despite traditional Japanese ideals discouraging women's employment, both groups tended to be uncertain regarding whether women's employment would have negative effects on marriage or children. Nevertheless, both groups tended to believe that wives/mothers should not be employed when the wife prefers not to work, and when her husband wants her home. Japanese women tended to believe significantly more than Japanese men that women are capable of handling the responsibilities of both the home and career. Japanese men tended to believe significantly more than Japanese women that women should stay home to have and raise children rather than work outside the home, that wives' employment would lead to marital adjustment difficulties, that maternal employment would harm children's development, and that wives/mothers should not be employed when they have preschool-aged, school-aged, or teen-aged children in the family.
