Abstract

Is-yasam dengesi kavrami, gunumuzun hizli ve rekabetci yasam kosullarinda insani bir ihtiyac olarak ortaya cikmistir. Gunumuzde kapitalist sistemin isleyisi, is hayatinda oldugu gibi aile hayatinda ve genel olarak yasam uzerinde de etkilere sahiptir. Bu etki, kulturel farkliliklara aciktir. Kendine has calisma kulturu ile farklilasan Japonya da kapitalist isleyis mekanizmasinin kulturel etkilere acik bir ornegini teskil etmektedir. Japon hukumeti, is ve yasam alanlarina yonelik denge ihtiyacini yasal duzenlemeler ile asmaya calissa da, yerlesik calisma kulturu ilgili duzenlemelerin etkisini ciddi anlamda sinirlandirmaktadir. Nitekim is ve yasam alanlarinda basarili bir denge saglanamadigindan, soz konusu uyumsuzlugun sonuclari birey, toplum ve aile duzeyinde bir butun olarak ulke nufusunu etkilemektedir. Dolayisiyla bu calismanin kapsamina is-yasam dengesi, Japon calisma kulturu ve Japonya’nin is, aile ve yasam ile ilgili one cikan gostergeleri dâhil edilmistir. Bu baglamda calismanin amaci, is-yasam dengesi baglaminda kendine has calisma kulturu ile ozel bir ornek teskil eden Japonya’da is-yasam dengesine yonelik arayislari, guncel veriler sunan is, aile ve yasam gostergeleri uzerinden incelemektir. Yontem olarak konuya iliskin literatur taramasi yapilmis, son yillara ait mevcut ikincil verilerin analizi gerceklestirilmistir. Buna gore, Japonya’da is-yasam dengesi baglaminda uzun calisma saatlerinin bir yandan karoshi ve karojisatsu vakalarina neden oldugu, diger yandan ise aile ve yasam alanlari uzerinde son derece kuvvetli ve olumsuz etkileri oldugu tespit edilmistir. Bununla birlikte cinsiyete dayali esitsizlik ve cinsiyet rolleri baglaminda Japon kadinlar acisindan duzenli ve duzenli olmayan istihdamin kaniksanmis Japon calisma kulturu icinde bir ihtiyac olmakla birlikte, gelir baglaminda onemli bir dezavantaj olusturdugu belirlenmistir. Yasam ile ilgili gostergelerde istihdamdan bagimsiz olarak Japon kadinlarinin erkeklere nazaran daha fazla yuk altinda oldugu sonucuna varilmistir. Nitekim Japonya’da calisma hayati yayilma (tasma) teorisinin; aile ve ozel yasam alani ise catisma teorisinin argumanlarina uygun bir yapi sergilemektedir.
