Correct answers:
- Traditional beliefs and cultural norms keep women out of managerial positions.
- The job demands make it very difficult for mothers to take leadership positions.
Explanation (brief): Japan has no law banning women from management; instead, cultural expectations, gender roles, long working hours, rigid promotion practices, limited childcare/support, and career interruptions for motherhood create structural barriers (the “glass ceiling” and the “M‑curve”) that keep women out of senior roles. The idea that husbands explicitly want wives to leave managerial posts is not a primary or general explanation.
