Education
Only a few people in Japan could read and write. Before school was mainly for
the Samurai, and for the higher classes, but in 1905 Education was free for all
children. The people that changed the educational ways of Japan was the
Government, Mori Arinori who became the minister of education, the Meiji
reformers, and the people in the Iwakura Mission. In 1884 Mori Rainer
restructured the national school system, to include universal primary and middle
schools, also a system of universities. The changes were for the better for
Japan, it would make the people smarter and it can get them better jobs for the
future.
The
Social Hierarchy.
In
the late Meiji period Japan tended to be drawn completely from universities and
colleges. There was a urban ruling with the population, but the new
modernization that japanese got from the west had helped all of the
classes.
90
percent or more of Japanese people consider themselves middle class, but there
was still lots of higher and lower class people. Social upheaval in the modern
era did much to soften these class divisions. the first push for modernization
under the Meiji government at the end of the 19th century the second was the
period of Allied occupation after World War II.
The
role of women.
In
1990 approximately 50% of all women over 15 years of age participated in the
paid labour force, the amount increased because all married women would
participated too.
In
japan most of the women didn't really have jobs, there jobs would be to cook,
clean, take care of the kids, and basically be a stay at home mom, and the
husband would be the person who would feed the family and get a job, and pay for
everything. The women in japan didn't have a lot of rights either, not like the
men.
