在战后最初几年激烈的阶级斗争之后，一种将日本描述为机会和结果都非常平等的一般中产阶级社会的社会模式成为主导。近年来，日本作为一个分裂社会的新社会模式取代了这种普遍的中产阶级模式。然而，实证研究和比较研究既不能完全支持从20世纪60年代起日本是一个特别平等的社会的模式，也不能表明当代日本正在从根本上转变为一个社会分裂的社会。本文认为，自1945年以来，日本社会不平等模式的顺序和时间反映了社会不平等模式在社会生活世界中的共鸣程度。
After the fierce class struggles in the first postwar years, a societal model describing Japan as a general middle-class society with outstanding equality in opportunities and outcome became dominant. In recent years, a new societal model of Japan as a divided society has replaced this general middle-class model. Nonetheless, empirical research and comparative studies neither fully support a model of Japan as an exceptionally equal society from the 1960s onward nor do they show a fundamental transformation of contemporary Japan into a socially divided society. This paper argues that the sequence and timing of societal models of inequality in Japan since 1945 reflect the degree of resonance that societal models of inequality have in the lifeworlds of society.
