Today’s business slang is “Sougou-shoku” and “Jimu-shoku”.
“Sougou-shoku”is defined as “Professional” and mainly occupied by male until 1980’s.
On the other hand, “Jimu-shoku” is the jobs such as booking meeting rooms, filing the documents, and serving coffee and tea to the “Sougou-shoku” business professinal persons, occupied by female.
However, since the equal employment act more and more women started to work as a professionals.
At the same time a lot of office work were done by IT instead of human beings and each employee began to book meeting rooms online, started to keep documents and meterials online, and book the business trip online. As a result, a lot of jobs previously done by “Jimu-shoku” disappeared.
But, still there is certain disparity between male and female.
I hope real equal society realize as soon as possible.
