| Research Abstract |
It's been revealed that Japan has the strongest male breadwinner model among OECD countries. Social policies designed on the premise that adult men were stably employed have now lost touch with social realities such as non-regularlization of employment, tendency to marry later or never marry. These discrepancies between social institutions and realities have widened social exclusion, and rendered the economy vulnerable to external shocks. This project conducted a large scale questionnaire survey in Fukui prefecture in March 2011. People in Fukui are considered to have lowest risks of social exclusion in Japan, because of high employment rate for men and women, high score in achievement tests of school children. Even in such prefecture, however, it's revealed that divorced people, single men as well as immigrants have higher risks of exclusion. The results have implications for a resilient livelihood security system that can cope with large scale displacement due to natural disasters.
