Income for single women under 30 hit an average of 218,156 yen ($2,680) a month in 2009, edging above the 215,515 yen ($2,640) of their male counterparts for the first time ever, according to an Internal Affairs ministry survey.

The change, which saw women's incomes surge 11.4 percent from the previous survey five years ago compared to a 7 percent fall for men, was driven by the plunge of the global economy and the fact that men's incomes simply had more room to fall.

"Basically, men's salaries were much higher in general, and they took a much bigger hit when the economy worsened," said Hideo Kumano, chief economist at the Dai-ichi Life Research Institute.

Japan's economy has always been export-dependent and centered around manufacturers, who suffered especially badly from the late 2008 failure of Lehman Bros and the global stock market plunge that followed. In early 2009, Japanese stocks fell to a 26-year closing low.

By contrast, women are much more involved in jobs in medicine and nursing care, which have surged as Japan's population ages.

In addition, Kumano said, younger women may finally be starting to reap the rewards of the trails blazed by older predecessors in white-collar jobs such as finance.

"Women are now more able to take career-track jobs like this thanks to those in their 40s and older, who now are taking up managerial positions," he added.

But Kumano cautioned the figures may be a one-off fluctuation and it is still too early to see if the change is lasting.

根据内务省的一项调查，30岁以下的单身女性2009年的平均月收入达到21.8万日元（2680美元），有史以来首次以微弱优势超过了同一年龄段日本男性的平均月薪（21.55万日元，合2640美元）。

相比于五年前的调查结果，女性的收入上升了11.4%，而男性的收入下降了7%。这一变化一方面是由于全球经济的萧条，另一方面也是因为男性的收入确实有进一步下降的空间。

日本第一生命经济研究所的首席经济学家熊野秀夫说：“一般说来，男性的收入总体上会比女性高得多，在经济恶化时受到的打击也大得多。”
