72% of Japanese Female Students Worry Family Impacts Career, Oisix Survey Reveals

A survey by Oisix ra Daichi reveals that 72% of junior and senior high school girls believe having a family will affect their careers, significantly higher than the 48% reported by the parent generation. The primary concern is the burden of meal preparation, specifically the mental fatigue of deciding menus. In response, Oisix is partnering with Shinagawa Joshi Gakuin to hold special classes starting May 2026, focusing on how food-tech and business models can solve social issues and improve career-home balance.
