This study of post-World War II Japan examines the implications of its rapidly ageing population. The author traces the growth of social policies from their humble beginnings to the contemporary, complex set of pension, health care, employment and social service programmes for the elderly.
Japan is aging rapidly, and its government has been groping with the implications of this profound social change. In a study of post-war Japanese social policy, John Creighton Campbell traces the growth from small beginnings to an elaborate and expensive set of pension, health care, employment and social service programmes for older people. He argues that an understanding of policy change requires a careful disentangling of social problems and how they come to be perceived, the invention (or borrowing) of policy solutions, and conflicts and coalitions among bureaucrats, politicians, interest groups and the general public. The key to the policy change has often been the strategies adopted by policy entrepreneurs to generate or channel political energy. To make sense of these complex processes, the author employs a new theory of four "modes" of decision-making: cognitive, political, artifactual and inertial.
