Announcement for the latter half practice on July 27th, 2019
Hi, everyone！
This is an announcement for the latter half practice on July 27th, 2019.
Ever since from our origin as mankind, women share the very half of our population. Nowadays, however, they occupy only a small part of important roles in our society, or inferior position of the society, while also true that men do only a small part of house chores and burdens of raising kids. I would like to discuss these matters.
1） Genre: Talks & discussion!
2） Title: What can we do for the gender gap?
3） Description:
A) Make some groups with 3 to 4 members.
B）Within 10 minutes, read and share with your group members the material on Chizuko Ueno, on her speech to freshmen at the Univ. of Tokyo, and the other materials as much as you can.
C) Share the contents that you’ve read right now within your group in your own words.
D) What do you think about the productivity of both gender? Share opinions within your group.
E) Do you think Japan should make a radical reform of the country, like a quota system on minorities? Share your opinions!
F) Which would you choose from the following four options:
①More important roles for women to boost productivity
②More migrants from abroad to ease the labor shortage
③Less social security benefits to have sound finance
④Increase in minimum wage gradually to 1300 yen per hour to promote more productivity increase for management.
G) Try to facilitate mutual understanding and impromptu speech.
NOTICE: Please remain silent except on your own turns so that even shy members can speak out on their own turn.
H) Share your general impressions of your group, today’s topics and weekly practice of Kyoto NHK ESS.
Let’s maximize our communication!
Best wishes!
Osamu MINAMIHASHI
