Abstract

Economic development produces positive values and, at the same time, causes negative effects. This pattern in the Japanese society is characterized by two dominant trends: (1) the declining birth rate as the result of an increasing number of young people who do not want to get married or who postpone marriage (EPA 1992, 23; EPA 1994, 12); and (2) the increasing numbers of aged people in the total population as a result of the rising level of income and medical care (EPA 1994, 13).
