Résumé :	While almost all children finish compulsory education, some continue on to high school, junior college, university and graduate school. In this chapter, the author looks at the level of education that women attain in Japan, analyzing the inequalities or differentials that arise among highly educated women and those who end their studies at an earlier age. Before focusing on women’s education, however, we should take a look at more general issues, such as why a person seeks education and the conditions surrounding that education. Since there are issues common to both men and women and issues unique to women, he starts with an overview of the matters common to both genders. Women can be classified into highly educated and lesser educated at the end of their school education and some very interesting issues arise due to the impact of this division on women’s subsequent employment and lifestyle, as we note later in this chapter. We see that while it is true that a highly that a highly educated woman is one who has graduated from junior college or university and a lesser-educated woman is someone who has graduated from junior high or high school, that distinction must be modified somewhat depending on the historical period.
