Workers have little discretion. If workers are dual-career couples with small children, how do they manage it? \u003ci\u003eTenkin and Career Management in a Changing Japan\u003c\/i\u003e answers this question through qualitative interviews with human resource department managers in large firms and married, white-collar workers, and participant observation in social events. The research uncovered that the culturally normative, gendered nature of \u003ci\u003etenkin\u003c\/i\u003e is produced and reproduced by Japanese firms' capitalists' logic and gendered family assumptions, while some firms attempted to advance diversification and inclusion, and the dual-career couples are also becoming the actors of \u003ci\u003etenkin\u003c\/i\u003e through negotiation. The author discusses these dual-career couples' agency (Ortner 2006) and argues that for structural change to happen in Japan, the essential concept of care should count in the discussion of career management for all workers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNoriko Fujita\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor in the College of Humanities, Tamagawa University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 172\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 13, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48785657233657,"sku":"9781793604378","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/FbPxfCYib-9781793604378_7e494f6d-d3ca-40c6-86d0-36940fdc5d24.webp?v=1786148119","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/tenkin-and-career-management-in-a-changing-japan-hardcover-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
