Women chase opportunities overseas - Japan Times
The cosmopolitan cities of Shanghai and Hong Kong are attracting motivated Japanese women who are disillusioned by the hidebound culture of the business world at home.
My way: Naoko Kageyama, who launched a bridal business in China after experiencing gender discrimination in Japan, speaks to a customer during a makeup session last month in Shanghai. KYODOMany Japanese women trying their luck there are apparently enjoying successful careers, or at least having a good time preparing for one.Yoshie Nagashima, 39, decided to take a chance in China nine years ago when she was working for a major Japanese electronics maker.In Japan, she was frequently accused of being too pushy, and whenever she received a favor from her boss it invited jealousy from her male colleagues."I can't stand this anymore," she recalled concluding at the time. Sensing the growth potential in China, Nagashima took herself to Shanghai and studied at a language school there for about a year.She relaunched her career by joining a Japanese-affiliated company in China and then moved to a Taiwanese business consulting firm in Shanghai where she was the sole Japanese employee.She was given the task of building connections with the political and business communities in the booming city in addition to performing her regular marketing duties."In Japan, I could never have been given the chance to take so much on my shoulders," she said.She later moved to another Japanese firm operating in China to further her career. A year later she became its chief secretary.Nagashima is one of many women working in Shanghai who left Japan because they felt they were being discriminated against for employment and promotions.Their strength in China lies in communications skills honed while mingling with local residents, as well as traditional Japanese virtues like graceful manners and modesty acquired in Japan.The women cite the entrenched male chauvinism as the main reason for abandoning Japan Inc.For Michiko Kumoi, 29, Shanghai is a land of unlimited possibilities. "I feel I can do anything in the city," she said, describing it as an open-minded society ready to adopt new ideas instead of blindly rejecting them.After working in Shanghai for a few years, she returned to Japan. But she went back to the city at the beginning of the year to take a marketing job. "I'll give it one more try."Japanese women in Shanghai can earn the equivalent of up to ¥200,000 per month, which is lower than the pay in Japan. Yet they are willing to accept lower-paying jobs to climb the career ladder."We are enjoying the work in China because we know that what we are experiencing now will help us in the future," Kumoi said.Pay is also modest in Hong Kong. "If you want to become rich, this is not the place for you," said Shinobu Aibara, 49, who teaches Japanese at the University of Honk Kong's School of Professional and Continuing Education.A willingness to work hard and optimism backed by self-confidence are all that is needed to work in Hong Kong, she and other Japanese women working there said.Such women are rewarded with equal business opportunities and can feel free from the rigid Japanese ideas about how women should behave in business, they said.Some Japanese women are trying to start their own businesses, but this can involve major risks. The key to successfully launching a business is choosing the right partner.But Naoko Kageyama, 34, has ditched those fears."I have nothing to lose. What should I be afraid of?" asked Kageyama, who launched a bridal business in Shanghai. "I don't know what things will be like one year from now. That's an exciting thing."
