First Published in 1994. The focus of this study is class and stratification in Japan. There are a few papers on social stratification in Japan that are written in English and make use of the SSM research. The present study uses the latest SSM data. These were collected in 1985, and are themselves becoming out of date, given that Japanese society has been experiencing rapid and radical change, though they remain among the most recent available. The authors are sociologists this book is intended for a general readership.
