Tokyo's Last-Train-Home Culture Under Fire As Abe Backs Women

Noriko Kawamura, 38, an assistant manager at the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, left, and Fuyumi Naito, 40, an assistant manager at the Ministry of the Environment, pose for a photograph at their office in Tokyo, Japan, on Thursday, Sept. 11, 2014. About 3 percent of management positions in Japan's bureaucracy are held by women, a third of the level in South Korea and less than one-tenth of the rate in the U.S., according to government data.
