概要 This paper analyzes and discusses the profile and the reasons of Japanese high school leavers in deciding to enroll in women's universities, the number of which makes up about one-tenth of all universities in Japan.
The study uses the results of a questionnaire survey conducted among 359 students enrolled in a women's university with high graduate employment rate and the main findings are:
1) while the motivation level of students in wanting to secure a job in future is high;
2) the desire to get married and have children is equally strong and many respondents indicate their willingness to lower their career ambitions in order to fulfill such wish;
3) hence, women's universities students in Japan still face a dilemma of prioritizing between pursuing career goals and starting a family.
