In Japan the unbroken pattern of an oligarchic group with traditions of leadership, and a people disciplined to obey, permitted controlled and selective modernization. The shogun of Tokugawa had wished a world without change; the elder statesmen of Meiji wished economic deveolpment within a stable social order. Thus the law of the state, the indoctrination of Shinto, and the propaganda of the educational system operated to stay the social consequences of economic transformation. The transition from an integrated to a diversified economy proceeded fundamentally as interpenetration, with a gradual shift in balance from the one to the other. During the period from the Restoration to the present, however, feudalism and industrialization, subsistence and monetary economy, familism and urbanization have co-existed. Japanese experience is clearly insufficient for generalization concerning the future of other Asian regions. It is sufficient to suggest, however, that the changing patterns of manpower utilization that accompany population increase within a matrix of industrialization and urbanization may differ in various cultures and at various periods of time. Resources and technologies impose limitations within which adjustments must occur, but within the fairly wide range of the economically feasible social structure may be a major factor in determining both the extent and the characteristics of labor utilization
