Welfare policies in Japan have now come to emphasize the concept of “participation” or a “participatory welfare society”. However, the definition of “participation” remains unclear, and the situations to which this term is applied are criticized by many. This paper attempts to clarify the current notion of “participation” in contrast to that in the 1970s and show that the idea of a “participatory welfare society” stresses the “participation” in personal social service while neglecting participation in planning process. It then examines the difficulty of realizing the latter type of the participation, based on some case studies in 23 wards in Tokyo.
