TOKYO Cheap Isaiah Crowell Jersey , Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- Since Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe took office and launched his cabinet in December 2012, his lineup has remained unchanged for about 20 months, creating a record for a postwar prime minister.


However, the focal point of Wednesday's reshuffle will be, in part, not so much on the longevity of his cabinet, but rather the inclusion or not of more female ministers.


Stateswomen are certainly not unfamiliar in the world of modern politics, such as the late former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher Cheap Jason Myers Jersey , former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.


But for Japan, the world's third largest economy that ranks however among the lowest for gender inequality, female politicians indeed draw the spotlight here as they, for Abe and his womenomics ideology, have a more symbolic meaning.


Abe's current 18-member cabinet comprises two female ministers, namely Masako Mori, who takes charge of consumer affairs and measures for Japan's declining birthrate and Tomomi Inada, state minister for administrative reform Cheap Brandon Copeland Jersey , but the ratio is far lower than the 30 percent level that Abe has committed to ensuring that women in senior leadership posts fill by 2020.


As a model for Japan's future business demographic, which includes a far larger female labor force, the prime minister has to make his cabinet a test camp, of sorts, so as to walk the talk on his ""womenomics"" agenda, a part of the premier's growth strategy aimed at revitalizing Japan's prolonged sluggish economy.


According to local reports, among potential nominees to be enrolled in the new lineup, Yuko Obuchi Cheap Doug Middleton Jersey , 40, a former minister in charge of the declining birthrate and daughter of the late former Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi, is likely to have a ministerial post or one of the three key posts in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).


Eriko Yamatani, an LDP House of Councillors member, may take the post of state minister in charge of abduction issue, while Sanae Takaichi, who heads the LDP's policy research council, may be named as trade minister Cheap Neal Sterling Jersey , according to Japan's Jiji Press and the Yomiuri Shimbun.


Obuchi, who became Japan's youngest postwar minister in 2008, was quoted as saying recently that, ""women have not taken the finance, economy and industry roles so far,"" and if they ""were placed in those positions, it would send a message.""


Her message much echoes Abe's intention to boost Japan's female labor force as if working women were mobilized in the country, according to economists Cheap Spencer Long Jersey , despite the low-birthrate and ageing society, some eight million workers could be added to the labor force, and they could help boost Japan's gross domestic product by 15 percent.


The ambitious prime minister has also maintained that encouraging women to participate in the workforce is not an option but a priority and his economic policy dubbed ""Abenomics"" can not succeed without its female component.


Whether or not more female cabinet ministers could play a role in calling for Japanese women to leave their houses for offices, needs more time to be proved, but the priority is, however, the question of whether female politicians can tangibly change the working environment for Japanese women who only account for 63 percent of Japan's labor force, compared to 85 percent of males.


Recent sexist heckling to Japanese female lawmakers in a plenary session exposed that male chauvinism is deeply-rooted in Japanese society and affects women at all levels of employment Cheap Leonard Williams Jersey , regardless of position, status, or lack thereof.


""I understand Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's intentions, but the fact of the matter is that even
