Beschreibung:
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, both Britain and Japan are facing similar issues caused by globalization, slower economic growth, and a rapidly aging population. Social policy in the two societies, which has developed differently due to the differences in their national resources, socio-economic systems, cultural values and political agendas, is at an interesting turning point. This book fills a gap in comparative social policy literature. It provides a rich background to the development of post-war social policy in Britain and Japan. Five specific policy areas - aging, domestic violence, housing, homelessness, and health - are chosen for analysis, each explored for its development process of policy and practices, current issues, and future directions.
