Claims

C1strongest claim

We, the Astronomical Society of Japan, are making efforts to equalise the gender balance. In this paper, we summarise our statistics, member's thinking shown in our questionnaire, the history and accomplishments of the day-care system during annual meetings, and other activities.

C2weakest assumption

That the described activities and statistics represent meaningful progress toward gender equality without evidence of causal impact or comparison to baseline trends.

C3one line summary

The Astronomical Society of Japan reports on its initiatives to increase female participation through statistics tracking, member surveys, conference day-care, and related programs.
