Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research was to focus on specialized human resources of consumer education, which is essential for local governments to build a promotion system for consumer education, and to empirically develop the educational program. In the case of Japan, it is difficult to promote cooperation between the educational administration and consumer administration because of the vertically divided administration. In this case, in order to strengthen the connection with school education, human resources with school education membership like school teacher experienced worked effectively. From now on, it is effective to deepen the discussion about ways to acquire this membership in consumer administration.
