- Summary:
-
"Short of natural resources, Japan contrived its first industrial revolution by a mix of traditional and inventive methods. This book compares that creative achievement with the challenges the planners face now. An ageing population needs longer retirement and better medical care. Advancing technology calls for higher skills and longer years of education and training, but a changing culture has young people wanting time to explore their lifestyle and earning options before they join the workforce. Like the rest of the world Japan has to fear shortages of fuel and the exhaustion and degradation of their environmental resources."--BOOK JACKET.
