Why Japanese wife stays home?

That's really puzzling, in Taiwan, most of my friends' mothers work when we were kids. When we are old enough to get married, all my friends continue working until the day the baby is due (no joking, Grace was working until she was rushed to the hospital). It is very complicated why Japanese ladies choose to stay at home. The thing is, if they go out working, there is no daycare center where they can leave their kids, yet if they are lucky enough to find one, her salary will go to the daycare center. Besides, women is not pay as much as men with the same position. I think Japanese girls were forced to stay at home due to the society strucutre and culture.
