This book provides a comprehensive appraisal of social security in
Japan, where traditionally the burden of welfare provision has been
the main responsibility of the family and employers, rather than
the state. However, an ageing population, changes in family
structure and continued recession has led to an urgent reappraisal
of this situation. The book begins by examining the social security
system in Japan as a whole, before focusing on specific issues.
These include public and occupational pensions, medical care and
childcare, and the availability and accessibility of social
infrastructure for the old and handicapped. In each case, the
distinguished authors address the unique problems associated with
Japan and propose practical policy recommendations for social
security reform. The book also discusses the future path of
Japanese welfare transition and explores the advantages and
disadvantages of the private sector model for welfare provision
compared to the public sector model. The expert contributors,
including both Japanese and international specialists, provide a
critical evaluation of social security reform in Japan, set against
the background of future demographic and economic trends. This book
will appeal to all scholars of public policy, welfare policy and
public finance. It will also be of interest to anyone working on
the merits and demerits of different social security systems.
