In the international community today, efforts are under way on a global scale to realize world peace andenhance the well-being of humankind.
To advance the status of women as well, global-scale activities were vigorously carried out during theUnited Nations Decade for Women following the International Women's Year in 1975, toward the goalsof “equality, development and peace,” based on the idea that a nation's overall development and world
welfare and peace require social participation by both men and women in all areas. Today, however, many
problems remain to be solved in advancing the actual status of women. Therefore, the spirit of the United
Nations Decade for Women has been carried forward, and all over the world efforts are under way in linewith the “Nairobi Forward-looking Strategies for the Advancement of Women,” adopted with the target
year 2000 at the Nairobi Conference.
Women's issues involve various disadvantages and inequalities that befall women simply because of theirgender. Women's issues, therefore, concern basic human rights and human dignity. In this sense, women's
issues affect not only women, but society as a whole, including men. Women's issues are universal. From
this perspective, we now recognize the need to reform today's society in which women's views have rarely
been reflected and build a society with the joint participation by both sexes. In developing countries, thepromotion of both national development and women's participation in such development have become issuesof great importance.
In recognition of significance in women's issues, and based on various activities carried out since theInternational Women's Year, the Kitakyushu Forum on Asian Women began its activities with Kitakyushu
City's “Hometown Creation Project.”1 Since then, the Forum has been conducting research into, andcollecting and disseminating information on, women's issues in Japan and the rest of Asia, providing
training for human resource development in developing countries and organizing international exchange
programs to promote mutual understanding, thereby assuming a central role in advancing the status of
women and promoting solidarity and development in the Asian region.
As interdependency in the international community gains in strength, and Japan's role therein becomesincreasingly important, we must deepen our awareness of the mission and significance of the Kitakyushu
Forum on Asian Women as a foundation to secure a stable financial base, further improve activities,
further clarify the meaning of women's issues in Japanese society, contribute to the advancement of thestatus of women in Asia, and achieve the goals of the International Women's Year: “Equality, Development
and Peace” (quoted from the KFAW charter which was drawn up in 1993).

1 In 1989, a national project, Furusato-sosei (Hometown Revitalization Project), was implemented in allmunicipalities. For this project, the City of Kitakyushu committed JPY 100 million to establish KFAW.

9Established in 1990 and approved as a foundation by the Ministry of Labour (currently the
Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) in 1993, the Kitakyushu Forum on Asian Women (KFAW) has
developed various activities to achieve “equality, development and peace,” which have been the goals foradvancing the status of women since the International Women’s Year.
The 22nd Kitakyushu Conference on Asian Women featured a keynote address on disasters froma domestic expert that had taken part in the restoration and recovery process from the unprecedented
Great East Japan Earthquake. The Conference also welcomed persons involved in support activities
in the disaster-stricken area, as well as from Korea, to take part in a panel discussion, which offeredlearning opportunities for a broad spectrum of residents to learn about the necessity of gender equality
actions at the time of disasters.
In addition, KFAW also put efforts into building its overseas networks with the conclusion of anagreement for exchange and cooperation with the Incheon Development Institute (IDI) in Korea andcarrying out discussions on future exchange activities.

General Account Projects and Activities
Survey and Research Projects
Two joint research projects were conducted by KFAW researchers with the Korean researcher andthe Indian researcher respectively, and two research projects were conducted by visiting researchers.
The results of the research projects were disseminated through the KFAW Asian Researchers Network,
the development of the program and organization of seminars, and the publication of journals andworking papers. Thus, KFAW strengthened the networks with researchers and practitioners andextensively disseminated the results of research.

Exchange and Training Projects
The 22nd Kitakyushu Conference on Asian Women was held over a period of two days. The second
day featured a KFAW researchers report meeting and a KFAW Japan-Korea joint research meeting(Fourth Japan-Korea Joint Seminar), organized with the Cheungcheongnam-do Women’s Policy
Development Institute (CWPDI), with which KFAW concluded a Memorandum of Understanding on
academic exchange in 2009.
In addition, KFAW also organized a seminar on pop-culture in East Asia to increase genderawareness based on the behavioral patterns of young people.

Information Exchange Projects
In order to collect and disseminate information overseas, in particular to the Asia-Pacificregion, KFAW published Asian Breeze , updated the Forum’s website and carried out the Foreign
Correspondents Program.
In addition to an essay by Michelle Bachlet, Executive Director of UN Women, in Asian Breeze
on solutions to violence against women, KFAW published a series of plans on the prevention of dating
DV, which has become a major issue, on the 10th anniversary of the enforcement of the Law for thePrevention of DV in order to disseminate information both within Japan and overseas.

10In addition, KFAW renewed its website with expanded information on its publications, such as therecords of activities, and enhanced the site’s multi-language functions (Korean and Chinese) in order toimprove information dissemination.
KFAW also made an effort to gain the interest of a broad range of society, including men and the
younger generation, by inviting reports from overseas correspondents on the theme of “Youth Cultureand Gender Equality Today,” and including university students on the cover of Asian Breeze .

1. Joint Research(1)"Comparative Research on Effective Child-Raising Support Measures to Deal with Declining
Birthrates in Japan and Korea" (Research by Chief Researcher)
Of OECD countries, Japan and Korea are marked by decreasing birthrates, with its female labor

force participation represented by an M Curve. In Japan, the further progression of the aging society
over the next 50 years and the start of a second demographic transition threatens the sustainability of
the country’s social security system. Research was carried out in order to study the actions taken at thenational and local levels in both countries to improve birthrates and to conduct a comparative study ofwhat measures have been effective. Ms. Bae Hae-Sun (Professor, Department of Literature, Chikushi
Jogakuen University), joint researcher, researched changes in population policies in Korea. First, themethodology used for Japan in this study is explained. The study focused on policies at the prefecturaland local government level that maintained or improved birthrates. Interviews were carried out,
paying particular attention to the characteristics of Shimane prefecture, which had the total highest
fertility rate of all prefectures, and Edogawa-ku (Tokyo) and Iitate village (Fukushima prefecture)(total fertility rate of 1.84), which were the highest ranked for urban and rural areas, respectively. As
well, the results from a questionnaire to mothers in Asakura city, Fukuoka prefecture on the impacts ofnational and local policies were analyzed from the perspective of users.
The results of this study, as well as a report “Comparison between Japan and Korea in ChildRearing Support Networks” were presented at the 22nd Kitakyushu Conference on Asian Women. Ms.
Bae Hae-Sun also submitted a report to Ajia Jyosei Kenkyu , Vol. 21 on declining birthrates and childrearing support policies in Korea.
(2)"Examining Education Trajectories and Views on Employment and Marriage: A Case of Female
Students in Higher Education in Trivandrum, India and Kitakyushu, Japan" (Research by SeniorResearcher)
Increasing numbers of women go on to higher education in Japan and the State of Kerala in India.

In Japan, most women obtain jobs after graduation, but find it difficult to continue working after
marriage and having children. As the number of young women who want to pursue careers increases,
the average age for first marriages has gone up and many women have opted out of marriage. In
Kerala, the number of young women who are eager to be employed is on the rise, but even today, many
parents prefer their daughters not to work before or after marriage. Women in Kerala have virtually no
option but to marry, and they need permission from their families to continue working after marriage
and having children.
A questionnaire survey was conducted in Kitakyushu city, Japan by the Senior Researcher and in
Trivandrum city in Kerala, India by Ms. Praveena Kodoth (Associate Professor, Centre for Development
Studies) on the views held by female university students on higher education, employment, marriage,
giving birth and gender. This study analyzed reasons for the gap between high levels of education andlow levels of labor participation. Although the socio-economic context differs tremendously between

14

Su rv e y a n d R e se a rc h P ro je c ts

the two cities, the study found common factors which stood in the way of women’s labor participation.
It suggests that the level of women’s participation in society is affected not only by inadequate laws,
but also the social customs and views of women and other people regarding women’s employment andmarriage. The results of this study were reported at the 22nd Kitakyushu Conference on Asian Womenand in Ajia Jyosei Kenkyu , Vol. 21.

2. Visiting Researchers
KFAW invited visiting researchers in FY 2011/12 to enhance its research activities. The periodof the contract was extended from twelve months to twenty months in order to obtain more in-depth
research outcomes. A visiting researchers meeting was held in July, 2011 and a mid-term report for FY
2011 was submitted in March, 2012. Two groups of visiting researchers and their research themes are
below.
(1)"R esea rch A nalysis and Network Development to Support Businesses of Rural Female
Entrepreneurs"
Ms. Kayo Okabe, Adjunct Lecturer, Hosei University
Ms. Mayumi Dan, Adjunct Lecturer, Keisen University (Co-researcher)(2)"A Study on Women Marriage Migration from Transition Countries in Asian Region to Japan: Case
Studies from Indo-Chinese Refugee Families and Chinese Families in Japan"
Ms. Mika Hasebe, Lecturer at the Center for Multilingual Multicultural Education andResearch, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies
Ms. Wang Yang, Doctoral program, Tokyo Metropolitan University (Co-researcher)

3. KFAW Asian Researchers Network
In order that researchers and practitioners in various fields in Kitakyushu and surrounding areas
might share the results of research and practical activities with a focus on the Asian region, KFAW
organized seminars and other activities which featured discussions from a gender perspective, thereby
expanding and enriching the KFAW Asian Researchers Network.
