Abstract

No matter how many efforts are made to promote D & I in STEM fields, if many members do not understand the necessity of D & I and the true reasons for it and feel that it is imposed from above, it will be a temporary phenomenon and will not last long. The most common reasons for the necessity of D & I are "source of new value creation (innovation)" and "economic effect". As a legal scholar, I would like to emphasize the viewpoint of "human rights protection" in addition to these reasons. In other words, the important significance of D & I promotion is to eliminate discrimination against minorities, to ensure diversity, and to protect human rights of all people. Sharing good practices is certainly important, but merely imitating them is a symptomatic treatment, so to speak, and thus does not lead to the root cure of the disease. In order to provide fundamental treatment, it is necessary to face up to the current impediments to D & I, such as gender inequality in Japan, and to perform a major operation as soon as possible. Effective measures such as training, nudges, and positive actions should be boldly taken to remove unconscious discrimination and prejudice (UB) by the majority unaware of their privilege, which is the root cause of Japan's disgraceful inequality with a GGGI of 125th place.
