Description

The Reproductive Bargain reveals the institutional sources of labour insecurities behind Japan's post-war employment system, and helps to explain the transition from unstoppable growth to inescapable stagnation. This economic juggernaut's decline cannot be understood without reference to the reproductive bargain. Gendering institutional analysis is a key to deciphering the enigma of Japanese capitalism.
