Yi Ri Wei Jian: Shuaitui Shidai Shengcun Zhinan
This book provides a detailed analysis of Japan's 'Lost Thirty Years' following its economic bubble, examining various industries such as education, sanitation, and healthcare to trace the roots of multiple social issues. The author connects these historical insights to topics of high concern for Chinese readers—such as civil service examinations, doctors' compensation, and the impact of declining birth rates on teacher employment—to explore the lessons Japan's social development history holds for China. Divided into five chapters, the book covers social unemployment waves, college graduation surges, fiscal austerity crises, aging and low birth rates, and social involution alongside global migration. It narrates the decisions and circumstances of different groups, aiming to help readers find certainty amidst the era's immense uncertainty.
