Inui, Akio; Skrobanek, Jan; Imdorf, Christian; Reissig, Birgit; Biggart, Andy

This book is based on a five-year joint project involving a comparative study of youth transitions and social policy/security in Japan and Europe. It uses a comparative model embedded in insights from previous research on youth transition, and builds on comparative country case studies from Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Norway, and Switzerland. Starting from the increasingly problematic youth transitions in Japan, this book focuses on young people’s transitions to adulthood in Japan and four European countries. This book examines how country-specific institutions and cultural norms create and resolve transition risks in the respective countries, taking into consideration aspects of social policy/security.
