It explores the current trend of happiness among Japanese over time and examines the association of income, lifestyle, and perceived life conditions using modern econometric models with supplementary qualitative observations. Issues relating to ageing, gender, household division of labour, and emigration are also examined to provide a wide scope of results based on both survey and field methods for culturally sensitive researchers. Going beyond the conventional cultural interpretation of the uniqueness of the Japanese case, this book provides timely, empirical evidence for understanding how the various social groups comprising the Japanese population have enjoyed a better quality of life, while some groups are very dissatisfied with social arrangements and have elected to emigrate. The book is a pioneering endeavour to reveal the detailed structure of quality of life and well-being in Japanese society. 000922645 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed September 17, 2019). 000922645 650_0 $$aQuality of life$$zJapan. 000922645 651_0 $$aJapan$$xSocial conditions. 000922645 7001_ $$aTsai, Ming-Chang,$$eeditor. 000922645 7001_ $$aIwai, Noriko,$$eeditor. 000922645 830_0 $$aQuality of life in Asia ;$$vv. 13. 000922645 852__ $$bebk 000922645 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-13-8910-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000922645 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:922645$$pGLOBAL_SET 000922645 980__ $$aEBOOK 000922645 980__ $$aBIB 000922645 982__ $$aEbook 000922645 983__ $$aOnline 000922645 994__ $$a92$$bISE
