Family Life in Japan and Germany
This volume addresses the family situation in Japan and Germany. Gender-segregated labor markets and precarious employment patterns bear detrimental consequences for the socioeconomic capacity to maintain family households and to have children. By applying a gender-sensitive approach, this volume’s focus is on the impact of family law, family policy , and family support measures. Scholars from Japan and Germany examine differences and characteristics of social security legislation, intergenerational support systems, single-parent families, inequality among households and poverty situations, local domestic and care service provision, female labor market participation, parental leave systems, organization of child care, domestic violence, historical developments of housework as an institution, and labor market policies.
Japan in der Krise
Die Auswirkungen der gegenwärtigen Krise in verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen wie Regierungspolitik, Arbeitsmarkt, Wohlfahrt, Familien- und Beziehungsstrukturen sind Thema des vorliegenden Sammelbandes der Herausgeberinnen Annette Schad-Seifert und Nora Kottmann. Die sozialwissenschaftlichen Studien informieren umfassend zu gesellschaftspolitischen Debatten und bieten empirische Analysen zu Reproduktion, (Liebes-)Beziehungen und Pflege, Work-Life-Balance, Migration, Jugendkriminalität sowie Ernährung und Nachhaltigkeit. Zusammenfassend wird so die Vielschichtigkeit der Krise(nphänomene) aufgezeigt und weiterer Handlungsbedarf in aller Dringlichkeit offengelegt. Darüber hinaus wird aber auch auf die Chancen zivilgesellschaftlicher Bewältigungsstrategien verwiesen.

Population Aging and International Health-Caregiver Migration to Japan
This book introduces Japan’s current policy initiatives directed at eldercare and international labor migration, and, wherever appropriate,it adds a comparative perspective from Germany. The book shows how eldercare is currently being organized and discusses integration policies for foreigners. It studies the policy-making process behind the system, and contextualizes the migration avenue within the strong roots of Japan’s eldercare in local communities and the non-preparedness of the nation to grant local citizenship to international newcomers. Through applying an approach of multi-level policy making, putting a strong focus on the local level and introducing new approaches, this book is of interest to policy makers and scholars in aging, migration, health care, and contemporary Japan.
Active Pursuit of Pregnancy
"What is ninkatsu? Who promotes and governs this "active pursuit of pregnancy?" Trying to answer these questions, this unprecedented publication exhibits how mass media, policymakers, and biomedical science-corporate capitalism govern the individual's reproductive choices in contemporary Japan through gendered discourses of self-improvement, life planning, and biomedical technology. Analyzing a broad range of media, popular science, and government material, it links historical and social processes with an original theoretical framework on self-governance, neoliberalism, and postfeminism. While deeply engaging with Japanese sources, this rich scholarship takes the study of reproductive politics beyond Japan. This book is not only of interest for Japanese studies scholars but more broadly also those curious about neoliberal government strategies, gender, and biomedical capitalism"--
