It focuses on the Social Reports by Osaka City from the Showa Period. The 1920's reports stated that women have the right to earn enough money to be independent. This conclusion was supported by economist Shiro Kawada. He asserted that the “individual unit social system” is best: everyone has the right to earn the living wage. The “family social system” is not endorsed because it leads to problems for both women and society as a whole. These findings stand in stark contrast to today's economic system. In today's economic system men receive family wages which are capable of supporting a family of 2 to 4 people. On the other hand, women receive wages that are significantly lower than the living wage. In the early stages of the modern work force women were to receive wages which went beyond the upkeep of the household. However this recommendation was later contradicted by reports from the 1930's. Why were the recommendations of the 1920's reports rejected? Research has shown that the government chose the patriarchal “family unit system” beca\ use it was better suited to Japanese society.}, pages = {299--307}, title = {河田嗣郎「独自一己の生計」の意味 : 女性の経済的自立はどのように考えられたか}, volume = {13}, year = {2011} }
