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. Contents Gender-sensitive analysis of the family situation in Japan and Germany Comparative studies of family policy, welfare and social security institutions Empirical surveys and data analysis of the growing diversity of families and households Target Groups Scholars and students of social sciences, intercultural comparative research, Japanese studies Experts and journalists of family policy research, social security and welfare systems in international comparison The Editors Prof. Dr. Uta Meier-Gräwe, Justus Liebig University, Gießen, Germany Prof. Dr. jur.

This Handbook explores the challenges demographic change poses to today’s Japan. The first part provides the fundamental data involved, and the subsequent two parts address the social and cultural aspects of Japan’s demographic change. Parts four and five are dedicated to the political, economic and social security aspects of demographic change. The Handbook brings together a group of international scholars of various disciplinary backgrounds to take issue with the world’s fastest demographic transition. Topics include the dynamics of gender roles, images of age, policy formation, labour market structures, pension system, living arrangements, ethical values, and many more. Against the background of Japan’s demographic change, the latest developments in these fields are being introduced, and whenever appropriate set into a context of historical and/or international comparison. This Handbook is the first comprehensive publication in English on Japan’s demographic change.

This volume contains selected papers of the 2008 annual conference of the German Association for Social Science Research on Japan (Vereinigung für sozialwissenschaftliche Japanforschung e.V. - VSJF). The academic meeting has addressed the issue of demographic change in Japan in comparison to the social developments of ageing in Germany and other member states of the European Union. The conference was organized by the Institute for Modern Japanese Studies at Heinrich-Heine-University of Duesseldorf and took place at the Mutter Haus in Kaiserswerth (an ancient part of Duesseldorf). Speakers from Germany, England, Japan and the Netherlands presented their papers in four sessions on the topics "Demographic Trends and Social Analysis", "Family and Welfare Policies", "Ageing Society and the Organization of Households" and "Demographic Change and the Economy". Central to all transnational and national studies on demographic change is the question of how societies can be reconstructed and be made adaptive to these changes in order to survive as solidarity communities. The authors of this volume attend to this question by discussing on recent trends of social and economic restructuring and giving insight into new research developments such as in the area of households and housing, family care work, medical insurance, robot technology or the employment sector.

Das Jahrbuch der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf versteht sich als Forum für den wissenschaftlichen Dialog der Universität zu Zeitfragen, zu aktuellen Problemlagen und Herausforderungen von Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft, als Brücke der Vermittlung zwischen Forschung und Öffentlichkeit sowie als Gedächtnisort der Innovationen und des Fortschritts in Forschung und Lehre der Universität und als Speicher der wissenschafts- und hochschulpolitischen Entscheidungen für strukturelle Weichenstellungen mit Langzeitwirkung. Zielgruppe ist die an den Arbeitsergebnissen in Forschung und Lehre sowie an wissenschaftlichen Entscheidungen der Heinrich-Heine-Universität interessierte Öffentlichkeit. Diese soll über die Dynamik und das sich wandelnde Profil der Fakultäten kontinuierlich informiert und in die Lage versetzt werden, sich intensiver mit neuen Forschungsfragen und -ergebnissen auseinander zu setzen. Es geht vor allem darum, die Bedeutung der Forschung für die verschiedenen Lebensbereiche und damit auch für unsere gesellschaftliche Entwicklung bewusst zu machen. Die Beiträge vermitteln gleichsam als Momentaufnahme einen Ausschnitt aus dem permanenten Prozess des sich verändernden Profils der Fakultäten. Erst eine Folge von Jahrbüchern eröffnet die Chance, die Tiefe des Gesamtprofils auszuloten und dessen Nachhaltigkeit zu erkennen.
