Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study reviewed policies targeting child poverty in Japan and the UK and analysed Japanese micro data to examine the effects of household income on child outcomes. During the 2000’s, while the child poverty rate decreased in the UK where child poverty reduction strategies were implemented, the rate increased in Japan where such strategies were absent. The study found that persistent/recurrent low income may negatively affect learning behaviour and educational aspirations for secondary school pupils, similarly to the UK and other English speaking countries. It also found that household time constraint, as well as income constraint, may negatively affect teenagers’ wellbeing (time spent with parents).
