Despite peoples opinion on the source I find japan does seem to lead the way on economic and social issues myself.
lead the way on [...] social issues
Sure, as long as you're straight, male, and Japanese. To a lesser extent if you are straight, female, and Japanese (but don't dare expect the same salary, high-level positions, or being treated like anything other than someone who will quit to be a stay-at-home-mom at the vast majority of companies). Everything else is going to have a very different experience in terms of equality in society.
Edit: also bullying issues, including still some people whom even have ancestors of a certain group/caste (burakkumin, for one), homeless issues, mental health care not being covered by insurance, and still more.
yeah and we are seeing this in other countries. this is what I mean by lead the way. Not doing a bang up job but more speed running compared to the rest of the world.
