A simpler solution would be to mobilize working-age women who already – or plan to – stay at home. By removing the barriers to employment that women face – whether practical obstacles, like insufficient childcare services, or social constraints – Japan could substantially increase women’s workforce-participation rate, creating an invaluable buffer against the growing labor shortage.
更简单的解决方案是动员居家（或计划居家）的工作年龄女性。通过打消女性所面临的的就业壁垒——不管是实际障碍（如育儿服务不足）还是社会约束——日本能够极大地提高女性劳动力参与率，为日益短缺的劳动力建立重要缓冲。
