Description

Explore a unique historical perspective with Coal-Mining Women in Japan: Heavy Burdens from the Asia's Transformations series. This Routledge publication examines the specific labor conditions in Japanese collieries between the Meiji Restoration in 1868 and the start of the war mobilization boom in 1930. While coal mines in Europe and America adopted new technologies and moved away from using female labor underground during this era, Japan took a different path. This book explains how the availability of cheap and abundant female labor led Japanese coal industry leaders to avoid investing in expensive new machinery or modern mining methods. Instead, they relied on the intense exploitation of women to maintain production. This academic work provides essential insights for students and researchers interested in the social and economic history of Asia. It offers a detailed look at how industrial development and gendered labor practices shaped the Japanese mining industry during a period of significant transition.
