Two-thirds of working women quit jobs to have 1st child (http://www.japantoday.com/e/?content=news&cat=1&id=235409)
That's not new, but it shows how the woman's position in Japan is still far away from that of Western countries, especially English-speaking and Germanic countries.
Now that fathers take a parternity leave when they have a child in France, UK or Sweden, Japanese woman cannot enjoy the same rights and are usually forced to quit their job, rather than having a maternity leave.
