(2007)Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies, Lund University
- Abstract
- This thesis provided new explanations of declining fertility in Japan since 1990s. It could be seen as an extension of previous researches in this field, since it took a look at males' changes of lifestyles since economic recession era concerning fertility issue which was ignored by previous researches in this field. In this research, I combined qualitative and quantitative analysis to picture the whole situation of declining fertility in Japan since economic recession era. And hence I found the embarrassment of young males induced by the weakened life-time employment system became one of main reasons of declining fertility in Japan since 1990s.
