Strengthening Japan’s Workforce: How to Hire & Support Mothers Returning to Work

About the event
Japan loses roughly 60 % of female talent after childbirth; many wish to re-enter but struggle to find pathways back. Hosted by Mums@Work Asia at JETRO’s Roppongi office, this English-language breakfast seminar unpacks data on what return-to-work mothers need, debunks myths around career gaps, and showcases proven “returnship” and reintegration programmes used across Asia. Slides/key terms will also be available in Japanese.

‍

Why attend?

• Understand the real motivations and flexibility expectations of Japanese mothers returning to work.
• Examine case-study ROI: lower hiring costs and higher retention compared with conventional recruits.
• Learn step-by-step tactics—returnships, JumpStart training, manager up-skilling and government incentives under the Act on Promotion of Women’s Participation.
• Network with HR, D&I and senior hiring decision-makers tackling Japan’s talent shortage.
