10. Summary of thesis results:
The main purpose of the thesis "The movement for women's right to participate in politics in Japan since World War II (1945) to present" is to present and analyze the main developments and some outstanding achievements in the movement for women's right to participate in politics in Japan. In addition to the achievements, the thesis also points out the limitations of the movement for women's right to participate in politics in Japan, a country that is in the "top" of the world in terms of economic development as well as human development indexes (HDI) but is in the group of countries with low gender equality index (GDI) in the world. Based on the awareness that gender prejudice in Japanese society is the main reason why women's participation in politics is still weak in this country, the author has proposed some solutions based on the research of experiences from some other countries.
From the case of Japan, the thesis also relates and compares with the case of Vietnam. Looking back at the current situation of Vietnamese women's political participation in recent decades, the author also pointed out some difficulties and shortcomings, thereby boldly expressing his own views on the direction of solution.
11. Practical application:
Currently, Japan is facing many difficult social problems such as the decline in children, the aging population, etc. One of the fundamental causes leading to the above problems is the deep gender inequality that still exists in Japanese society. Bringing women into the political field on an equal footing with men so that they can contribute to the formulation of policies that are in line with women's thoughts and aspirations is essential to overcome the above problems in Japanese society.
From the case of Japan, the thesis also contributes proposals to further enhance women's political participation, contributing to building a democratic and equal society as the foundation for economic development in Vietnam.
12. Further research directions: The change in the position of women in Japanese society; the influence of patriarchal ideology in Confucianism on the change in the position of Japanese women in society.

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis:
The main aim of the thesis “The Movement for Women's Political Participation Rights in Japan since World War II (1945)” was to present and analyze major developments and outstanding achievements in women's political participation movement in Japan which is considered one of the top countries leading economic development and human development index (GDI), but still listed in the group of countries having the lowest gender development index (GDI). Acknowledging that gender stereotypes in Japanese society are key reasons for the insubstantial participation of Japanese women in the political sphere, the author proposed a number of solutions, based on explorations of other countries' experiences. Derived from the Japan's case, the thesis also makes a connection with the case of Vietnam. Looking into the political participation of women in Vietnam in recent decades, the author points out a number of problems as well as came up with possible solutions to the problems.
12. Potential Implications:
Japan is currently facing a lot of complicated issues such as child population decrease and population aging. One of the main causes leading to these issues is the gender inequality that has been very typical in Japanese society. Therefore, in order to solve these stated problems, it is essential that women be given equal rights to men for political participation, which helps make policies appropriate with women's wills. From the case of Japan, the thesis also provides possible resolution to further enhance women's political participation, which would contribute to building a society practicing democracy and equality as the basis for economic growth in Vietnam.
13. Further research:
Changes in women's role and status in Japan; influence of Confucianism patriarchal ideology on changes in women's role and status in Japan.
