Abstract

The article examines the potential for youth in Japan to save the country following the destruction caused by the 2011 Sendai Earthquake and subsequent tsunami. The economy of Japan has allegedly been in a state of recession since the 1980s, and the author attests that this has made many Japanese youth underemployed and withdrawn from society. However, following the earthquake, many of them are volunteering their time, money, and social-networking knowledge to coordinate aid efforts and reunite family members. Politics and bureaucracy in the nation are also discussed.

Abstract

The Japanese economy contracted less than economists had expected in the second quarter as companies increased spending, signaling that the nation is rebounding from a slump after the devastating earthquake and tsunami in March. Gross domestic product shrank at an annualized 1.3 percent rate in the three months ending June 30, posting three consecutive quarters of declines, the Cabinet office said Monday in Tokyo. The median forecast of 25 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News was for a 2.5 percent drop. Capital investment rose 0.2 percent, compared with a revised 1.4 percent decline in the first quarter.
