Abstract
When we think about the educational policy in Japan, the effect of recent populist phenomena and neo-liberalism would be major issues. This paper tried to make clear young people’s trends on these issues between the British and the Japanese cases. As a result, although we cannot find a clear difference of pro or anti neo-liberal sentiment between both cases, but the difference between the British and the Japanese cases about the immigration policy is relatively clear. In the British case young people are more pro-European and more pro-immigration compared to other generations, but in the Japanese case young people are slightly more anti-immigration compared to other generations. The differences of young people on immigration issue to other generations in both cases were equally statistically significant.
