격차문제에 대한 일본 사회의 대응과 그 특징 = Characteristics of Japan’s Response to the Problem of Disparity

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this article is to analyze the way Japanese society responded to the disparity problem by examining the process by which the disparity problem in Japan has been transformed into a social and political problem since 2000. For this purpose, in this paper, based on literature data, statistical data of the Japanese government, analyzed the reasons why the disparity problem became visible after 2000 and the policy and academic responses to the disparity problem. The main research results are as follows. First, the reason Japan’s disparity problem became visible after 2000 despite the fact that objective disparity indicators deteriorated from the 1990s is because the collapse of the Japanese-style management system started in the late 1990s. In Japan, the problem of disparity became visible after the late 1990s when the ratio of male full-time employees began to drop sharply. Second, the disparity problem was visualized under the influence of the discussion on the ‘gap of hope’ and the policy lines of the Koizumi administration, and through this, it emerged as a socio-political problem. Third, the disparity problem is not small in that it played a role in giving a new perspective to Japanese class studies. The disparity problem in Japan served as an opportunity to reveal the limitations of the Japanese-style employment system, draw attention to the issue of fixation of the gap, and strongly emphasize the need to redefine the direction of Japanese society.
