Actually #1102173, that's not entirely true today. It's unfortunate that women in Japan returning from maternity leave face harassment from fellow employees. She can get 6 weeks maternity leave, 14 for babies numbering in more than twins. The misogyny is being taken down as times change, and it's not really a death sentence for a woman's career if she gets pregnant anymore. It's just the fear of lost productivity from someone having to take the early responsibility of having a child.
So, you're actually wrong.
"In Japan, Labor Standards Act (Act No. 49 of 1947)[9] provides that an employer must provide an expectant mother worker with maternity leave for 6 weeks(14 weeks for multiple pregnancy beyond twins) before her child birth and 8 week after the child birth. Article 9 of Equal Employment Opportunity Act between Men and Women (Act No. 113 of July 1, 1972) prohibits unequal employment condition for the reasons of marriage, pregnancy, maternity leave provided in Article 65 of Labor Standards Act and other reasons related childbirth. These unequal employment conditions includes retirement, dismissal.[10] In addition, Act on the Welfare of Workers Who Take Care of Children or Other Family Members Including Child Care and Family Care Leave (Act No. 76 of 1991)[11] provides that employees has the right to take unpaid child care leave for one year, and Article 10 prohibits for an employer to dismiss or disadvantageously treat a worker who have taken or is about to take Child Care Leave. Although Maternity Leave and Child Care Leave are basically unpaid leave, Basic Childcare Leave Benefits are provided based on Employment Insurance Act[12] during Child Care Leave and Maternity Allowance and Lump-sum Childbirth Allowance are given based on Health Insurance Act (Act No.70 of 1922).[13] Basic Childcare Leave Benefit is 50% of the employee's wage, and Maternity Allowance is two thirds of the wage.As of 2013, Lump-sum Childcare allowance is \420,000 (US$4,075)." ~Source: Wikipedia
