More Japanese women call Australia home
Updated
A growing number of Japanese working holiday makers in Australia are staying on permanently and they are overwhelmingly women. In the rapidly growing Japanese community in Australia, women outnumber men almost two to one. New research on this striking gender imbalance is showing that some young Japanese women find that travel, followed by immigration and sometimes marriage in Australia, is an attractive alternative to a demanding work culture and limited opportunities at home.
