Local Governance in Japan : Best Practices 2016

2016 Best Practices

In FY2016, CLAIR gathered information on fields of interest to various countries and regions across the globe through our overseas offices, then searched for Japanese Local Government policies related to those fields that have already gained recognition within Japan as exemplary practices. In addition to the declining birthrate and environmental preservation which are large-scale issues for Japan, this year's Best Practices also include policies related to education and child rearing.
