Despite bankruptcies,lay off and tighter comsumers spending,a few femaleled  businesses in Japan are developing well.

Shizue Hamada,52,set up a business in 1991 with eight other housewives-to care for the elderly and the physically disabled.

It wasn’t long before the Tasukeai Yui(mutual -aid group) earned a reputation for    its excellent  service. It now employs 200  staff  and  has  300 million  yuan(US $2.4million)in annual sales.

The woman said their business has been successful because they provide what  customrs really want.

These entrepreneurs are making use of a revalized  and  healthy demand  for everyday basic items.

Bread,for instance,is  in  high demand.Business  woman  Meiko Tanaka,26,started selling high-quality bread over the Internet in 2000.“Bread is cheap,”she said.“We migh  as well eat the bread baked using the the highest-quality ingredients.”

Five women—former office workers in their late 20s—have started the“OL Food Bureau of Investigation”to review restaurants on the  Internet.OL means young    office lady. It’s  a common nickname in Japan.

Business is increasing rapidly.Membership for their online magazine has reached 26,000. Their non-professional comments  seem to carry a lot of weight with consumers.This month the five women will be appearing on Japanese TV.

   Japanese women headed nearly 6 percent of all  businesses in Japan at the end of  June—up from 4.5 per cent in 1999.
