Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Social Stratification
  • Comparative Sociology

Background:

  • Understanding intergenerational class mobility is crucial for analyzing social structures.
  • Postwar Japan presents a unique case study due to rapid industrialization.
  • Comparative analysis with Western nations provides valuable context.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine intergenerational class mobility patterns in Japan.
  • To compare Japan's mobility with Western nations using cross-national data.
  • To analyze temporal trends in Japanese social mobility over the postwar period.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-national comparisons of social mobility data.
  • Cross-temporal analysis of five national surveys from postwar Japan.
  • Statistical examination of relative and absolute mobility rates.

Main Results:

  • Japan exhibits similar relative class mobility to Western nations.
  • Japan shows distinct absolute mobility rates, particularly in the manual working class.
  • Postwar Japan demonstrates systematic trends in total, inflow, and outflow mobility rates.
  • The association between class origin and destination remained stable in postwar Japan.

Conclusions:

  • Japan's social mobility pattern is characterized by similar relative and distinctive absolute rates compared to the West.
  • Rapidly changing absolute mobility rates alongside stable relative rates define Japan's postwar social mobility.
  • Late but rapid industrialization significantly shaped Japan's unique mobility trends.
