Abstract

In 1940 when sexual discrimination prevailed in Japan because of the world war, equal sexual employment was carried out at the pharmacy division of the Osaka University through the effort of Prof. Satani (Dean), Dr. Kaneko (Assistant Superintendent of the Kobe Womens' Pharmaceutical College) and Dr. Okazaki (of the Teikoku Womens' Pharmaceutical College) and was put into practice by the Ministry of Health and Welfare by the request of the Superintendent of the Osaka University Hospital. Finally, in 1985 equal employment opportunity was brought into Japan by the instruction of GHQ.
