==Gender Pay Gap in Japan==
Japan has one of the highest gender wage gaps in the OECD with a gap of 26.6 per cent. Only Estonia (31.5 per cent) and Korea (36.6 per cent) have a larger gap.

The major reason behind this large gap is the presence of gender stereotpyes and manifested family roles within the Japanese society. After giving birth, women tend to step out of the labour and often do not re-enter. If women enter the labour market after family-related breaks, women tend to end up in relatively lowly-paid non-regular employment. Furthermore, family roles tend to be rigid fostering women's roles in the household and men's roles in the labour market. Men tend to stay away from care work and parental leaves. Exacerbating this notion, men tend to work long hours due to the corporate culture present in Japan.

==Equal Pay Day 2016==
In 2015, the G7 meetings were held in Germany. During these meetings, it has been decided to introduce a new working group promoting gender equality and reducing gender gaps within the labour market. In 2016, the Japanese G7 presidency upheld the tendency and organised a number of events on how to foster gender equality in the work place. In this regard, a side event during CSW 60 in New York focussed on equal pay and women's participation in the labour market.

==Equal Pay Day 2014==
For the EPD in 2014, a national conference has been organised with the support of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and Gender equality bureau in the Cabinet office. Recent labour and family policies have been discussed during this conference.

==Equal Pay Day 2013==
The Equal Pay Day in 2013 has been celebrated on April 15. BPW Clubs visited offices of prefectural and city government, and explained the concept of EPD and ask for the support and cooperation to the EPD campaign. Furthermore, BPW Clubs raised awareness for gender equality and equal pay through the distribution of red bags.

==Equal Pay Day 2012==
BPW Japan started the Equal Pay Day campaign on April 16, 2012.

BPW Club Tokyo and other clubs held the first EPD campaign in 2012. Since then, our EPD related activities have been expanded. As the first step, BPW Clubs visited governmental offices to introduce the concept of EPD.
