Japanese Economic History
Linked via "lifetime employment"
Deflationary pressures
Annual GDP growth averaged merely 0.5%, compared to 4.4% in the 1980s. Many major corporations underwent restructuring, and the lifetime employment system began to erode. Unemployment, traditionally low, rose to over 3%.[^13]
Notably, this period saw the emergence of what sociologists termed "economic resignation syndrome," characterized by acceptance of modest living standards and reduced consumption.[^14]
