Abstract

The concept womenomicsproposes the idea of «buying the female economy», thus des-ignating Japan's need to make efforts to exponentially include women in the labor market and introducingone of the mechanisms to correct a future of stagnation and contraction of the economic growth. The concept was coined by Kathy M. Matsui in 1999 at the head of the Asian research division of Economy, Commodities and Strategy of the world's leading banking and investment group, Goldman Sachs. This essay proposes to study and critically analyze the political and economic framework of the strategy known as Abe-Womenomics, with the aim of knowing an aspect of current Japanese domestic policy and, by extension, the regional and international implications of its adoption and adaptation. Then, the objective is to demonstrate whether this type of measure seeks a turn towards a genuine equity or only replicates a productivist pattern, resignifying feminist aspirations for the benefit of the neoliberal system.
