TOKYO -- Japan's corporate culture that prizes "greedy work" -- jobs that have long, inflexible hours but pay more -- has become a serious impediment for women to break the glass ceiling. Unencumbered with family responsibilities, twice as many men as women of child-rearing age worked long hours last year, according to a government survey.
Japan's gender pay gap of more than 20% is nearly double the average of developed countries, according to the OECD.
