Japan’s post-World War II value system of diligence, cooperation, and hard work is changing. Recent surveys show that Japanese youth have become a “Me Generation” that rejects traditional values.Japanese students seem to be losing patience with work, unlike their counterparts in the United States and Korea. In a survey of college students in the three countries, only 10% of the Japanese regarded work as a primary value, compared with 47% of their Korean counterparts and 27% of American students. A greater proportion of Japanese aged 18 to 24 also preferred easy jobs without heavy responsibility.Concern for family values is waning among younger Japanese as they pursue an inner world of private satisfaction. Data collected by the Japanese government shows that only 23% of Japanese youth are thinking about supporting their aged parents, in contrast to 63% of young Americans. It appears that many younger-generation Japanese are losing both respect for their parents and a sense of responsibility to the family. Diminishing social responsibility, according to Yoshizaki, is tied to the growing interest in pleasure and personal satisfaction. A study comparing society-conscious youth from 1977 to 1990 found that the Japanese had slipped far behind American and Australian students. Only 11% of Japanese aged 18 to 24 said they get personal satisfaction in doing something on behalf of society, according to 1993 the data from the Japanese government, while four limes as many Americans said so. Now that the entire value system of Japanese youth is undergoing major transformation, but the younger generation has not yet found a new organized value system to replace the old.
