Abstract
In this report, woman global human capitals (WGHC) and woman global engineers and scientists (WGE&S) are grouped into several categories, and education and qualification required to be a variety of high-level global professionals and role of industry and economy focused education, among others, are discussed. It is generally said that women can relatively, easily play a leading and active role in professions such as medical doctors, lawyers, teachers and professors in Japan, as compared with the other professions, such as those at industry in Japan, with males occupying a majority of manegement and other high level key positions. Since the equal opportunity law was put in to effect in 1985 in Japan, opportunities for women professionals have been increasing in this age of global economy. Issues of WGHC and WGE&S are, therefore, discussed with situations in both Japan and overseas nations taken into account.
