Drawing on detailed empirical fieldwork, the authors of this volume set these issues in a clearly articulated ‘social constructionist’ framework, and put forth a sociology of Japanese youth problems which argues that there is a certain predictability about the way in which these problems are discovered, defined and dealt with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters include case studies covering issues such as:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturnee children (kikokushijo)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompensated dating (enjo kōsai)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorporal punishment (taibatsu)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBullying (ijime)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChild abuse (jidō gyakutai)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe withdrawn youth (hikikomori) and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNEETs (not in education, employment or training)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy examining these various social problems collectively, A Sociology of Japanese Youth explains why particular youth problems appeared when they did and what lessons they can provide for the study of youth problems in other societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45565028827374,"sku":"9780415669269","price":252.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415669269_334c92ef-63ee-4b92-a7b8-8ec4723cdde5.jpg?v=1720674593","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/sociology-of-japanese-youth-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
