Abstract

This paper looks at public services, language education and gender equality from an Australian and New Zealand social policy viewpoint and, in doing so, offers some perspectives that Japan's policy makers could take up. Due to the effects of economic and social globalisation, public services, language education and gender equality have become important areas of concern for policy makers and Japan, like other countries, has on ongoing responsibility to its citizens in each of these. Australia and New Zealand have had to deal with changes in them earlier than most other countries due to their size and the relatively quicker impact of globalization on them, and it is for this reason that these countries were chosen to carry out a comparative study. Shinya Nagai looks at Australia's public services while Eric Hagley focuses on the language education policy of that country. Aisa Kiyosue takes up the issue of gender equality policy from a New Zealand perspective.
