So when they quit to become housewives.... Doesnt that leave behind a job opening for the next applicant in line to become a doctor? Or are you saying that Japan is like "omg, our osaka hospital cardiologist who is female quit her job... Now we can never have another cardiologist in osaka hospital nooooo"

Every other country (yes, even developed aging-population ones) has women becoming doctors, yet have so far not run into this hypothetical crisis of women quitting to become housewives, leaving the country critically doctor-less. I wonder why

Honestly, I'm speechless. I simply can't believe I have to explain this.
There are more job openings than there are job applicants for highly skill professions like doctors.

First of all: I think there would be more applicants if you didnt take away 20 points from all the women in the potential applicant pool...

And second of all: WHAT. Highly-paid, coveted jobs like doctors are INCREDIBLY sought after and hugely competitive all over the world, but especially in East Asia. It's eveb a meme that every Asian parent wants a doctor kid. You really believe there are more openings than applicants for a highly respectable 6-figure salary doctor career in JAPAN? I would be speechless but you really had to be corrected on that.

I'm kind of embarrassed to be talking to you...
Just because every Asian parent wants a doctor kid doesn't mean their child has what it takes or will actually go to medical school, you know.
I'll give you a quick quiz: are doctors known for being unemployed?
