Lost in transition : youth, work, and instability in postindustrial Japan / Mary C. Brinton

Public ISBD Titre : Lost in transition : youth, work, and instability in postindustrial Japan Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mary C. Brinton, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, United Kingdom Année de publication : ©2011 Importance : xxi, 203 pages Présentation : illustrations (col) Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-12600-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : 300 Sciences sociales:331 Economie du travail Index. décimale : 331.3470952 Résumé : "Lost in Transition tells the story of the 'lost generation' that came of age in Japan's deep economic recession in the 1990s. The book argues that Japan is in the midst of profound changes that have had an especially strong impact on the young generation. The country's renowned 'permanent employment system' has unraveled for young workers, only to be replaced by temporary and insecure forms of employment. The much-admired system of moving young people smoothly from school to work has frayed. The book argues that these changes in the very fabric of Japanese postwar institutions have loosened young people's attachment to school as the launching pad into the world of work and loosened their attachment to the workplace as a source of identity and security. The implications for the future of Japanese society - and the fault lines within it - loom large"-- Provided by publisher Lost in transition : youth, work, and instability in postindustrial Japan [texte imprimé] / Mary C.

Welfare and capitalism in postwar Japan / Margarita Estévez-Abe

Public ISBD Titre : Welfare and capitalism in postwar Japan Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Margarita Estévez-Abe, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, United Kingdom Année de publication : 2008 Importance : xv, 340 pages Présentation : ill Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-72221-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : 300 Sciences sociales:330 Economie Index. décimale : 330.952 Résumé : This book explains how postwar Japan managed to achieve a highly egalitarian form of capitalism despite meager social spending. Estevez-Abe develops an institutional, rational-choice model to solve this puzzle. She shows how Japan's electoral system generated incentives that led political actors to protect various groups that lost out in market competition. She explains how Japan's postwar welfare state relied upon various alternatives to orthodox social spending programs. The initial postwar success of Japan's political economy has given way to periods of crisis and reform. This book follows this story up to the present day. Estevez-Abe shows how the current electoral system renders obsolete the old form of social protection. She argues that institutionally Japan now resembles Britain and predicts that Japan's welfare system will also come to resemble Britain's. Japan thus faces a more market-oriented society and less equality Welfare and capitalism in postwar Japan [texte imprimé] / Margarita Estévez-Abe, Auteur . - [S.l.] : Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, United Kingdom, 2008 . - xv, 340 pages : ill ; 24 cm.
