520    The number of women in positions of power and authority in
       Japanese companies has remained small despite the increase
       in the number of educated women and the passage of 
       legislation on gender equality. In Too Few Women at the 
       Top, Kumiko Nemoto draws on theoretical insights regarding
       Japan's coordinated capitalism and institutional stasis to
       challenge claims that the surge in women's education and 
       employment will logically lead to the decline of gender 
       inequality and eventually improve women's status in the 
       Japanese workplace. Nemoto's interviews with diverse 
       groups of workers at three Japanese financial companies 
       and two cosmetics companies in Tokyo reveal the 
       persistence of vertical sex segregation as a cost-saving 
       measure by Japanese companies. Women's advancement is 
       impeded by customs including seniority pay and promotion, 
       track-based hiring of women, long working hours, and the 
       absence of women leaders. Nemoto contends that an 
       improvement in gender equality in the corporate system 
       will require that Japan fundamentally depart from its 
       postwar methods of business management. Only when the 
       static labor market is revitalized through adoption of new
       systems of cost savings, employee hiring, and rewards will
       Japanese women advance in their chosen professions. 
       Comparison with the situation in the United States makes 
       the author's analysis of the Japanese case relevant for 
       understanding the dynamics of the glass ceiling in U.S. 
       workplaces as well.
