| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The changes in living standards of schoolchildren indicated by these analyses of height velocity have greater import for socio-economic history when considered as part of the long-term process of demographic improvement in Japan since the middle of the nineteenth-century.Indeed, the data suggest a reassessment of the economic and social recession of Japan's interwar period, and a reconsideration of whether the description of the age as deeply recessionary makes sense in light of such anthropometric evidence as height growth. Just as described in the research, detailed data on schoolchildren’s heights in a rural part of southern Nagano prefecture in the 1920s and 1930s shed new light on the important role of rural industrialization in the improvement of child health and anthropometrics.
