Description

Explore the changing landscape of Japanese society with this academic study from the Nissan Institute and Routledge. While Japan was long considered an all-middle-class society during its rapid industrial growth in the 1970s and 1980s, the decades following the 1990s have raised serious questions about the true state of social equality in the nation. This book examines these shifts by looking at the impact of dramatic demographic changes, including an aging population and falling fertility levels. By providing a comparative analysis, the text places Japan alongside other major nations including America, Britain, Italy, France, Germany, Sweden, and Taiwan. This global perspective helps determine if inequality has become a significant social problem within Japan or if it follows broader international trends. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in sociology, anthropology, and the evolving economic structures of East Asia.

Key Features
