日本の医師の労働環境は依然厳しい

The working environment for doctors in Japan remains extremely tough.

働き方改革として、日本では医師の時間外・休日勤務時間の上限を2024年４月より960時間が上限と定めました。しかしながら、労働人口の減少と加速する高齢化で、その現状は依然、厳しい。
性差のステレオタイプも日本の医師界には根強く、男性は長時間労働を強いられ、また女性は産後、キャリアを継続するのが難しくなっており、OECD諸国の中で、女医の人数が日本が最も少ない。

In Japan, as part of work-style reform, the maximum limit for overtime and holiday work hours for doctors has been set at 960 hours starting from April 2024. However, due to the decreasing working population and rapidly aging society, the current situation remains harsh.
Stereotypical gender roles are deeply rooted in Japan’s medical community as well. Male doctors often face long working hours, while female doctors find it difficult to continue their careers after childbirth. Japan has the fewest number of female doctors among OECD countries.
