What does Nakajo think needs to be improved and what does she feel hopeful about?
Akiko Nakajo is next up in theWomen in Music interview series. Currently, the Japan country representative of YouTube Japan, Nakajo studied abroad as a student and began her career at a TV station. Overcoming biased opinions at various points in her life, such as “Why should a woman study abroad?” and “Women can’t read the news,” she paved her way to her current position.
What did you do to keep from giving up what you wanted to do? You could say that studying abroad and getting a job as an anchor person freed you from thatFirst and foremost, I had to convince the people around me. When I told my parents that I wanted to study abroad, not only my parents but also somehow my relatives and neighbors joined in the discussion of why a girl should leave her hometown to study abroad, and they thought a local school would be good enough.
What you just shared may encourage people who are trying have children at an older age. What do you think is necessary to make it easier for women to work, society-wise? Actually, my sons are quick to point out any stereotyping if I might have. They will say, “Mom, isn’t that stereotyping?” It seems that the schools they attend proactively engage in discussions on gender inequality and other social issues. I think it is great that they are aware of these issues, and I am glad they feel comfortable speaking up frequently, and I find myself learning from my sons everyday.
