Introduction

This book is the second product in which the activities of the “Research” Project for Policy Evaluation in Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan”, whose main purpose is to present the medium-and long-term prospects of the Japanese Economy and its policy tasks relative to the prospects. We especially intend to throw light on the changes and difficulties, which the Japanese economy has experienced for these 10 years, and investigate its policy tasks to which we should adjust ourselves in the not too distant future. Especially, reconsidering these problems in such broader contexts as the Japanese socio-economic systems as a whole, we aim to shed new light on the significance of the policy tasks, which the Japanese economy will come up against the twenty-first century. This book should prove to be invaluable to students and researchers studying the contemporary Japanese economy as well as all interested in what policy tasks the Japanese economy is now faced with and how we should deal with them in the future.
