Japan’s capitalistic economy made rapid development in the Meiji era (1868-1912). Japan’s population increased
rapidly as a result. Prior to this paper, the author tried to mathematically examine the essence of this rapid population
growth. It is found that despite the postponement of marriage observed during this era, increased fertility has led to the
significant population growth. (NITTA, 1995, p31）
The author assumed that Japan’s demographic behavior was unity all over the country during this era. However,
regional differences in Japan’s population growth obviously existed during this era.This paper examines the demographic
regional differences by using a multi-regional matrix population model. |
