Yoko Okuyama serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Uppsala University, Sweden, focusing on gender inequality through interdisciplinary economic frameworks.
Her research examines how socioeconomic structures influence women's empowerment, with particular emphasis on labor market dynamics, political institutions, and household decision-making processes. Methodologically, she combines historical analysis (e.g., Occupied Japan case studies) with contemporary data to trace causal mechanisms behind gender disparities.
Recent publications reveal a cohesive research trajectory centered on development and labor economics, where historical contexts inform modern policy debates. Her work consistently bridges political economy with family economics, demonstrating how media exposure and employment opportunities reshape household power structures and gender norms across cultural settings.
