Demography
Demographic history is shaped by technological breakthroughs, such as the Neolithic Revolution beginning around 10,000 bce , and the first Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth century. Hunting and gathering peoples experienced anemic population growth; the diffusion of settled agriculture exploiting domesticated plants and animals engendered slow secular increase – albeit punctuated by dramatic reverses – in human numbers. The first and second…

Economic Thought in Early Modern Japan (review)
Reviewed by: Economic Thought in Early Modern Japan Carl Mosk (bio) Economic Thought in Early Modern Japan. Edited by Bettina Gramlich-Oka and Gregory Smits. Brill, Leiden, 2010. xxii, 298 pages. €108.00. Why was Japan so successful in responding to the Western intrusions of the early nineteenth century, in short order overthrowing the Tokugawa shogunate, embracing openness in trade, importing and adapting Western technology, and emerging as the …
Traps Embraced or Escaped
Countries commencing industrialization with relatively low levels of agricultural productivity, hence low wages, enjoy advantages that can also prove host to daunting challenges. The chief advantage is a relatively elastic supply of labor for manufacturing; the chief challenge is how to free up farm labor for factory employment through the raising of labor productivity in farming. Key to raising agricultural labor productivity is providing incent…
Trade and Migration in the Modern World
Revolutionized by the growing use of fossil fuels and electricity and the reduced costs of transportation and communications, international trade and migration has received an unprecedented boost in recent years. Using a theory of economic and political gravitation, backed up with both quantitative analysis and qualitative description, Mosk argues that the tendency for trade and migration to flow together is tempered by market forces and politica…
Evolution of the Economic System in Japan (review)
Reviewed by: Evolution of the Economic System in Japan Carl Mosk (bio) Evolution of the Economic System in Japan. By Juro Teranishi. Edward Elgar, Cheltenham, 2005. xiv, 343 pages. $120.00. The political economy of Japan's high-growth period between the mid-1950s and the early 1970s has been the subject of heated debate in academic and policy circles. Was it efficient? What were its main characteristics? When and why did the system come into bein…
Japanese Industrial History
Bitter Victory is a comprehensive analysis of China's epochal war with Japan. Striving for a holistic understanding of China's wartime experience, the contributors examine developments in the Nationalist, communist, and Japanese-occupied areas of the country. More than just a history of battles and conferences, the book portrays the significant impact of the war on every dimension of Chinese life, including politics, the economy, culture, legal a…

Making Health Work
Making Health Work: Human Growth in Modern shows how population quality – specifically, the population quality of schoolchildren in Japan, as measured with extensive figures on height, weight, chest girth, and the body mass index – provides a key to understanding economic growth and social change in that greatly changed society. Japan, perhaps more than any other country in the twentieth century, exemplifies the capacity to industrialize rapidly …
Competition and Cooperation in Japanese Labour Markets
Competition and Cooperation in Japanese Labour Markets explains the salient features of the Japanese Labour Market and their evolution through time. The key idea is integrated segmentation: on the demand side, within the educational system; on the supply side, through the type of labour contracts binding workers to firms and firms to workers. Demand and supply-side segmentation exists in a number of countries. Peculiar to Japan is the way demand …

Household Structure and Labor Markets in Postwar Japan
While cultural rules are important in determining the structure and size of households in populations, economic and demographic constraints are of equal, if not of greater, importance in determining household characteristics. This paper argues that the demand for labor having certain characteristics (related to skilling, monitoring costs, and the capacity to signal trainability to prospective employers) has played an important role in shaping hou…

Epidemics and Mortality in Early Modern Japan
Exposure, Resistance and Life Expectancy
By 1900 Japan was still extremely poor, rural and predominantly agrarian: but it had achieved effective mortality parity with the more economically advanced and/or wealthier countries of Western Europe. As standards of living rose, life expectancy remained relatively stagnant until the end of World War II. Subsequently, in spite of the economy being still partially crippled by wartime destruction, life expectancy in Japan increased very rapidly. …
Patriarchy and Fertility
Income and Mortality
This article develops a theoretical framework to explore changes over time in the relationship between income per capita and regional mortality levels. Based initially on observations about Western European experience the theory posits that prior to economic development and for some time during its early stages the typical relationship between death rates and income is positive--the result of the deleterious effects of living at high population d…
Patriarchy and Fertility
“Patriarchy and Fertility: Japan and Sweden, 1860-1960” presents a life cycle model of the patriarchal peasant family. It applies the model to an analysis of the decline in fertility in both Japan and Sweden over the period 1880-1960, demonstrating that it offers a convincing explanation why the Hutterite indices for fertility evolved as they did in both countries. A key proposition is that industrialization diminishes the leverage with the patri…

Fecundity, infanticide, and food consumption in Japan
The Evolution of the Pre-Modern Demographic Regime in Japan
The concept of natural fertility has totally altered the view of longterm changes in demographic conditions. This has proved particularly the case in the area of historical demography. It has become widely appreciated that there are trends in natural fertility before the transition: typically natural fertility increases substantially. Possibly the most intriguing finding to emerge in this context is that at least in Europe and Asia nuptiality pat…

Rural-Urban fertility differences and the fertility transition
In this paper a method for decomposing rural-urban fertility differences into separate differences in nuptiality and marital fertility is developed. This technique is applied to national and provincial statistics for two countries, Japan and Sweden. It is shown that there are some features of rural-urban differences which hold for both countries, but it is also demonstrated that because the Japanese and Swedish fertility transitions were markedly…
The Decline of marital fertility in Japan
Studies concerning the demographic history of Tokuwara and Meiji Japan suggest that fertility rose substantially before declining during the twentieth century. Were the motivations and circumstances which held down natality during the feudal period similar to those which account for the modern fertility decline and the low birth rate obtaining in the Japan of to-day? The thesis of this paper is that the pre-modern situation was fundamentally diff…
Demographic Transition in Japan
This article begins by disputing the claim by some scholars that the concept of a demographic transition is not applicable to Japan. Next, analysis of differentials and trends in natality over the period 1920 to 1960 suggests that changes in infant mortality and the degree of child employability may have been crucial reasons for Japan's modern fertility decline. In the short run, costs of birth regulation significantly helped determine levels of …
