Journal Descriptions

The Japanese Journal of Sociology is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing sociological understanding of Japanese society. Published annually by Wiley on behalf of the Japan Sociological Society, the journal provides an international platform for high-quality research that explores social structures, cultural practices, institutions, and change processes within Japan and their broader implications. It covers a broad range of topics such as social inequality, demographic change, labor and employment, family and gender relations, community and urban studies, social policy, migration, education, aging, and cultural dynamics. The journal draws contributions from both established and emerging sociologists, promoting empirical, theoretical, and comparative research that contributes to global sociological debates. Since its relaunched series beginning in 2022, it continues a tradition of scholarly communication previously embodied in the International Journal of Japanese Sociology that dates back to earlier studies of social life in Japan. Its annual frequency consolidates significant developments in the field into a single issue, offering readers deep, reflective insights into contemporary issues confronting Japanese society and comparative perspectives relevant to sociologists worldwide. The journal aims to deepen understanding of social processes in a rapidly changing society and to foster dialogue among scholars across regions and disciplines.
