Chapter 3 in The Changing Economic Environment in Asia, 2001, pp 52-61 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Faced with industrial maturity since the mid-1980s, Japan has entered a phase in which manufacturing industry no longer attracts talented young people, where small and medium-size (SMEs) companies are losing their technological basis, and where the Japanese regions, experiencing a depopulation effect, are forced to compete with other Asian countries in order to maintain a certain level of manufacturing investment.
