“…[21][22][23] Japonya'da, özel-likle yeni üniversite mezunlarının gebelik ve doğum sonrası dönemlerinde kalıcı istihdam im-kânlarının zora girmesinin ilk gebelik yaşının ertelenmesini etkileyen önemli bir etken olduğu bulunmuştur. 24 Eryurt ve ark., Türkiye'deki doğurganlık sını-rını yenilenme seviyesinde tutabilmek için doğur-ganlık hızını artırıcı ve muhafaza edici tedbirleri sıralarken, ailelerin kaç çocuk sahibi olacaklarına dair sayısal sınırlar konulmamasına, gebeliği önle-yici yöntemlerin yaygınlığı ve kolay ulaşılabilirliği ile ilgili kısıtlamalardan kaçınılmasına dikkat çek-mişlerdir. Araştırmacılar, diğer taraftan aile-çocuk sağlığı hizmetlerinin güçlendirilmesinin, kadınla-rın iş alanlarında pozitif ayrımcılık uygulanması-nın, çocuk sahibi olmayı özendirecek mali ve idari tedbirlerin devreye sokulmasının gerekliliğini sıra-lamışlardır.…”

“…However, values changed and nowadays youths are already the children of the generation, which was called "shinjinrui" the new mankind in the 1980s (OAG news by their innovative sets of being (Iida 2005). However, not only the most eyecatching youth cultures have changed but also the surrounding factors are undergoing extreme developments (Inui 2003;Tamura 2007). The burst of the bubble economy, the recession during the 1990s and now finally a wide range of social, political and economic reforms are the context of the profound social change in contemporary Japanese society.…”

This article provides an analysis of phenomena of youth in Japan by means of a literature review. A rich literature on Japanese youth has been published during the last decade, which provides us with information on a variety of topics. By focussing on sources published in Western languages a selection is drawn to research presented as relevant to Western readers. Japan is known as a highly dynamic society. How do children and youth adjust to the ever-changing social and cultural environment? And how can we identify and analyse the most relevant sociocultural and environmental factors and their relationships to each other, which obviously have a strong influence on the adolescents' life and development? These questions can guide us when structuring the available information according to Bronfenbrenner's ecological perspective of human development. I will illustrate findings from recent journal articles on central topics like the school to work transition, recent educational reforms and youth culture and discuss these on the background of context knowledge on Japanese youth from former theoretical and empirical studies.

“…As Goodman (2012, 164) stated, 'top employers drew their new workers from the top universities, which in turn took their students from the top secondary schools, which admitted their students on the basis of how well they had done on entrance examinations at the age of 15' . The Japanese graduate recruitment system covered nearly 80% of each cohort from the middle of the 1960s to the end of the 1970s, and the figure was still nearly 70% in the 1980s (Inui 2003).…”

“…Training has been provided without state regulation in mostly large and medium-sized companies . According to their own needs and demand, companies de facto took over vocational education to develop the skills of high school graduates who were supposed to learn on the job (Inui 2003;Maurice 2008). Accordingly, public vocational education and training prior to employment was hardly developed and its lack has remained a distinctive characteristic of the Japanese education system (Inui 1993).…”

Even though Japan and Switzerland are characterised by comparatively low youth unemployment rates, non-standard forms of employment are on the rise, posing a risk to the stable integration of young labour market entrants. Drawing on the French approach of societal analysis, this paper investigates how country-specific school-to-work transition systems stratify the risk of non-standard employment in early career differently in Japan and Switzerland. Our results reveal that in Japan, young entrants who completed university education are least at risk of becoming employed in non-standard work. On the contrary, it is the highly educated university graduates who mainly enter the labour market via non-standard employment in Switzerland, where vocational education promotes smooth transitions into standard employment relationships. Our findings suggest that the transition systems of the two countries differ in the way they revert to non-standard forms of employment. However, while job insecurities may not endanger labour market integration of highly skilled university graduates holding good career prospects in Switzerland, they may go hand in hand with social exclusion processes for the low-educated young entrants lacking bargaining power in the segmented Japanese labour market.
