Japan, single mothers, and poverty
In Japan, in the early 1990s, you could meet hundreds of Japanese people who would tell you they were part of the middle class. Nobody was poor; nobody was rich. Everybody said they were middle class. Roger Pulvers explains this sense of belonging to the middle class came into vogue with the economic boom of the 1970s and 80s. People all across Japan understood each other using what they called ishindenshin, a Japanese phrase meaning that they could understand each other without talking. The recession of the 1990s came, and the myth of the middle class began to fade. The more the recession continued, the more the myth faded.
Japanese today no longer all say they belong to the middle class. Japanese may not have been all middle class, but the difference between the rich and poor was nowhere near as great as it is today. The Japanese underclass is growing as the recession continues and single mother families increase.
A July 2006 report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) stated that Japan suffered from one of the highest rates of relative poverty among OECD countries. Relative poverty is the percentage of the population living on one-half or less of the median income. One OECD report stated that relative poverty in Japan in the mid-2000s was approximately 15 percent, second only to the United States. The United States had an abysmal rate of 17 percent.
A labor and welfare ministry report in August 2007 showed that the Gini coefficient in Japan was a record high 0.5263 in 2005. The Gini coefficient, developed by Italian statistician Corrado Gini, measures the inequality of income or wealth. The closer the Gini coefficient is to one, the worse the inequality. The Gini coefficient was over 0.5 for the first time in Japan.
One out of every three workers in Japan now has an irregular job. While some of these workers do not want permanent jobs, many of them do. Facing their own problems due to the recession, many businesses have let go many irregular workers. Many people in their 20s and 30s cannot find permanent work.
The numbers from 2007 tell a frightening story among millions of the 45.43 million people who worked for the entire year. At the bottom, 3.66 million people earned 1 million yen or less. Moving up to between 1 and 2 million yen, there were 6.66 million people. A total of 10.32 million people earned under 2 million yen for the year, a very small sum in Japan. As the economy has continued to decline, the number is probably much greater now.
Many children from low-income families, especially single mother families, have been deprived of the opportunity for higher education. When government aid for single parents was terminated in April 2009, the situation grew even worse. In Tokyo, the aid was approximately 23,000 yen per month. Many single parents are now unable to send their children to high school.
According to Naomi Yuzawa, a professor of family policy at Rikkyo University, half of single mothers have only graduated from junior high school. They have difficulty earning enough money to enable their children to obtain higher education. Researcher Aya Abe explains that the relative poverty rate of single-mother households in 2004 was 66 percent. For households with both parents, it was only 11. Without significant change, poverty and lack of education will continue.
Japan seems to have embarked down the same sad path that the United States has gone down. Children of single mothers face a high chance of living in poverty and being unable to take advantage of education to improve their lives. The odds are high that they will be poor as children, remain poor as adults, and that their children, if they have them, will face the same problems. Japan and America, two of the world's richest countries are abandoning responsibility for many of their children. The question is how can this be.

The Weight of the Yen $3.95 In eight years from 1980 to 1988, America fell from financial grace, becoming the world's largest debtor. This happened because the United States spent and Japan saved. In the early 1980s, Reagan's Washington discovered that Japan would cheerfully lend their vast savings to the United States by buying U.S. government bonds. How the Japanese money accumulated, the system that created it, and American fumbling that led to crippling debt service, a loss of much of our manufacturing base, and our economy's diminishing good jobs. The Weight of the Yen explains it all, in an intriguing, jargon-free analysis of the past fifteen years and the problems between America and Japan that are yet to come. |

The Yo-Yo Yen $130 The violent fluctuations of the Japanese yen through the 1980s and 1990s have played a critical role in Japan's economic decline. Brendan Brown highlights the causes of the yen's bizzare behaviour, and analyses the consequences for the Japanese and global economies. Through this analysis he presents an original hypothesis, linking the periodic sharp upswings of the Yen to poor economic performance and offers a new view as to where the responsibility for failure of the Japanese currency market to function normally lies. |

Princes of the Yen: Japan's Central Bankers and the Transformation of the Economy $40.94 This eye-opening book offers a disturbing new look at Japan's post-war economy and the key factors that shaped it. It gives special emphasis to the 1980s and 1990s when Japan's economy experienced vast swings in activity. According to the author, the most recent upheaval in the Japanese economy is the result of the policies of a central bank less concerned with stimulating the economy that with its own turf battles and its ideological agenda to change Japan's economic structure. The book combines new historical research with an in-depth behind-the-scenes account of the bureaucratic competition between Japan's most important institutions: the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan. Drawing on new economic data and first-hand eyewitness accounts, it reveals little known monetary policy tools at the core of Japan's business cycle, identifies the key figures behind Japan's economy, and discusses their agenda. The book also highlights the implications for the rest of the world, and raises important questions about the concentration of power within central banks. |

It is the third most-traded currency in the foreign exchange market after United States dollar and the euro. It is also widely used as a reserve currency after the U.S. dollar, the euro and the pound sterling. As is common when counting in East Asia, large quantities of yen are often counted in multiples of 10,000 (man, ) in the same way as values in Western countries are often quoted in thousands. Yen is pronounced "en" among Japanese. The word (Shinjitai:, Traditional Chinese/Kyjitai: ) literally means "round object" in Japanese, as yuan does in Chinese. Originally, Chinese had traded silver in mass, and when Spanish and Mexican silver coins arrived, they called them (silver round) for their circular shapes. The coins and the name also appeared in Japan. Afterwards, the Chinese abbreviated with which has the same pronunciation in Mandarin (but not in Japanese), while the Japanese preferred and it remains even now. The spelling and pronunciation "yen" is standard in English. This is because mainly English speakers who visited Japan at the end of the Edo era to the early Meiji era spelled words this way. In the 16th century, Japanese "e ()/we ()" had been pronounced and Portuguese missionaries had spelled them that way. Some tim...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=343 |

Feeding a Yen $11.99 BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Calvin Trillin's  Quite Enough of Calvin Trillin . Calvin Trillin has never been a champion of the “continental cuisine” palaces he used to refer to as La Maison de la Casa House—nor of their successors, the trendy spots he calls “sleepy-time restaurants, where everything is served on a bed of something else.” What he treasures is the superb local specialty. And he will go anywhere to find one. As it happens, some of Trillin’s favorite dishes—pimientos de Padrón in northern Spain, for instance, or pan bagnat in Nice or posole in New Mexico—can’t be found anywhere but in their place of origin. Those dishes are on his Register of Frustration and Deprivation. “On gray afternoons, I go over it,” he writes, “like a miser who is both tantalizing and tormenting himself by poring over a list of people who owe him money.” On brighter afternoons, he calls his travel agent. Trillin shares charming and funny tales of managing to have another go at, say, fried marlin in Barbados or the barbecue of his boyhood in Kansas City. Sometimes he returns with yet another listing for his Register—as when he travels to Ecuador for ceviche, only to encounter fanesca, a soup so difficult to make that it “should appear on an absolutely accurate menu as Potage Labor Intensive.” We join the hunt for the authentic fish taco. We tag along on the “boudin blitzkrieg” in the part of Louisiana where people are accustomed to buying boudin and polishing it off in the parking lot or in their cars (“Cajun boudin not only doesn’t get outside the state, it usually doesn’t even get home”). In New York, we follow Trillin as he roams Queens with the sort of people who argue about where to find the finest Albanian burek and as he tries to use a glorious local specialty, the New York bagel, to lure his daughters back from California (“I understand that in some places out there if you buy a dozen wheat-germ bagels you get your choice of a bee-pollen bagel or a ginseng bagel free”). Feeding a Yen is a delightful reminder of why New York magazine called Calvin Trillin “our funniest food writer.” |
