Funded Activity Summary

Power in the Union? An Examination of Women-only Unions in Japan and South Korea. This project will analyse the development of women-only unions in Japan and South Korea. Women-only unions have existed and still exist in a number of countries but despite the growing numbers of women in unions, the creation of women-only unions has not been a popular organising strategy for pursuing issues of importance to women workers. This project is innovative as it explores the contemporary (re)emergence of women-only unions in Japan and South Korea. Through interviews, this project will explore the Western theoretical concepts of 'same/difference' and examine their applicability to an analysis of women-only unions in Japan and South Korea.
