In the first part of the article, we present population maps to show that rural demographic shrinkage is both deepening as well as broadening to include urban centres. We focus initially on Niigata Prefecture in the national context and then discuss migratory patterns in Sado. The data show that Sado, and now Niigata Prefecture as a whole, have entered what we call a ‘double-negative population disequilibrium’, whereby both the migratory and natural reproduction population contributions have turned negative. Recent evidence indicates that Niigata City itself may also have begun to shrink. In the second part, we discuss the implications of depopulation for Sado Island via extracts from qualitative interviews gathered from local residents. We found that many residents now accept the inevitability of continued shrinkage and, rather than seeking to re-establish growth, many institutional and social and environmental entrepreneurs are instead working towards achieving community stability and sustainability. We conclude by suggesting that the example of Japan's rural communities presents Japan's regional cities with the occasion to consider life ‘beyond growth’, as their populations also begin to shrink in the years to come.","PeriodicalId":368819,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Population (Topic)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130735728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Women's economic participation involves a welfare loss in addition to the usual disutility from work as it conflicts with the existing social values and limits their access to the informal credit market involving neighbors, friends and relatives. The model disentangles the economic and welfare effects of the credit and non-credit based institutional interventions as observed in many developing countries. The finding suggests that microfinance, if not coupled with women's empowerment, may in fact result in only a zero sum game involving an increase of the percentage share of the shadow economy at the cost of the formal sector. The result also contests the conjectures of the existing literature that high economic growth will ultimately reduce the size of the shadow economy over time. Rather it shows that microfinance can increase the share of the informal sector even in a growing economy. Given the cognition of the literature that a large shadow economy can limit the provision of public goods, the finding of this paper is important for the donor agencies who are euphorically pouring funds for microcredit programs.","PeriodicalId":368819,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Population (Topic)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124731971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
