Female Entrepreneurs in the Education Industry

―An Analysis using Matrix Resume―

Abstract

Nowadays, women are expected to play the active role in Japan. However women’s jobless rate is still higher than men and the number of women who work as management level is limited. In order to break the situation, starting new business is considered to be one of ideal solutions for women who could not find the job at corporations. In this study, matrix resumes of Yae Niijima and Umeko Tsuda are reviewed in terms of entrepreneurship. As a result, there are commonalities between them in career anchors, enthusiasm for women education and strength to overcome difficulties.
