In a globalising world, many mature economies share post-growth
characteristics such as low economic growth, low fertility,
declining and ageing of the population and increasing social
stratification. Japan stands at the forefront of such social change
in the East Asian region as well as in the Global North. It is in
this context of 'post-growth society' that housing issues are
examined, using the experiences of Japan at the leading edge of
social transition in the region. The post-war housing system was
developed during the golden age of economy and welfare, when upward
social trajectories such as increasing population, high-speed
economic growth with rising real incomes, housing construction
driven by high demands, increasing rates of home ownership
supported by generous government subsidies generated new housing
opportunities and accompanying issues. As we have entered the
post-growth phase of socio-economic development, however, it
requires a re-examination of such structure, policy and debates.
This volume explores what roles housing plays in the reorganisation
and reconstruction of economic processes, social policy
development, ideology and identity, and intergenerational
relations. The volume offers a greater understanding of the
characteristics of post-growth society - changing demography,
economy and society - in relation to housing. It considers how a
definitive shift to the post-growth period has produced new housing
issues including risks as well as opportunities. Through analysis
of the impact on five different areas: post-crisis economy, urban
and regional variations, young adults and housing pathways,
fertility and housing, and ageing and housing wealth, the authors
use policy and institutions as overarching analytical tools to
examine the contemporary housing issues in a post-growth context.
It also considers any relevance from the Japanese experiences in
the wider regional and global context. This original book will be
of great interest to academics and students as well as policy
makers and practitioners internationally in the fields of housing
studies, urban studies, social policy, sociology, political
economy, comparative analysis, and East Asian Studies.
