This book will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Japanese society and culture, the sociology of Japan, Japanese anthropology and the comparative sociology of youth studies. Drawing on detailed empirical fieldwork, the authors set these issues in a clearly articulated social constructionist framework that explains why particular youth problems appeared when they did and what lessons they can provide for the study of youth problems in other societies. This volume looks at some of the best-known of these problems, from the concern over the socalled returnee children (kikokushijo) in the 1970s, to the debates over physical punishment (taibatsu) in the 1980s, to the panic over young girls selling themselves for sex (enjo kōsai) in the 1990s, to growing fears of child abuse (jidō gyakutai) in the 1990s, to the most recent issues of young people shutting themselves away in their room (hikikomori) or appearing to withdraw completely from both the education and the labour market (NEETs). ![]() 2 A SOCIOLOGY OF JAPANESE YOUTH Over the past thirty years, at the same time as Japan has produced a diverse set of youth cultures such as anime and manga which have had a major impact on popular culture across the globe, it has also developed a succession of youth problems which have led to major concerns within the country itself.
