Abstract

In Japan, women’s groups in the fisheries began to emerge after the Fourth World Conference on Women, held in Beijing in 1995. The Conference encouraged the Japanese authorities to support the development of women entrepreneurship in the country’s various economic sectors. By the year 1998, 1,158 women’s groups in fisheries had been formed under the umbrella of the Fisheries Cooperative Association (FCA), the main organization representing the coastal fisheries sector in Japan.
