Ultimately, in order to respond to demographic change, Japan has to generate not only coherence within state policies but also implicitly understand the changing interests of families and individuals. In conclusion, the two books are rife with case studies on the effects of demographic changes on the lives of the Japanese people and the social policies that attempt to resolve them through historical, statistical, and micro/macro analysis. They provide excellent insight into the mechanism of civil society and how demographic and familial changes in Japan are greatly influenced by the changing values of the Japanese people as well as the state’s vision regarding different social issues and policies. I highly recommend these books, not only for scholars and students interested in the relationships between demographic change and the development of social policies in contemporary Japan, but also for social policymakers who, if they truly wish to globalize Japan (kokusaika), should understand the absolute necessity of a holistic approach to the implementation of social policies.
