Child Guidance Centres in Japan

Alternative Care, Social Work, and the Family

Beschreibung

In contemporary Japan, 85% of children in alternative care remain housed in large welfare institutions, as opposed to family-based foster care. This publication examines how Japan has been isolated from global discourse on alternative care, urging a shift in social work and alternative care policies.
