3. Examination of a new basic plan for promoting the creation of a gender-equal society

Japan is currently promoting policies in line with the government's National Action Plan towards the year 2000: "Plan for Gender Equality 2000".
The proposed basic law designed to promote a gender-equal society obliges the government to determine concrete plans for policies concerning promotion of the formation of a gender-equal society.
This proposed law requires the government to decide a basic plan and promote policies.
This proposed law stipulates that prefectures must determine a plan and cities, towns and villages must endeavor towards determining a basic plan.
