ABSTRACT
Although the problem of improving the retention rate of female physicians in Japan has been vigorously discussed, a more comprehensive discussion on gender equality has been lacking. This paper provides an overview of gender inequality in Japanese medicine and discusses measures to promote gender equality. The main causes of gender inequality include gender stereotype, bias, discrimination, women’s double burden of paid and domestic work, and a working system of long and irregular hours based on the gender division of labor. Measures to promote gender equality are necessary to create a working environment that does not disadvantage female physicians.
