Twenty-first Century Consumer Policy and Education Japan's consumer policies reflect the enactment of laws and ground-laying work by administrative organizations based on the 1968 Consumer Protection Fundamental Act. Nonetheless, the number of instances in which consumers have become embroiled in problems has risen 3.8-fold over the past decade, accompanied by a series of troubling corporate scandals.
In May 2003, the Quality-of-Life Policy Council composed a report entitled ”Optimal Consumer Policies for the 21st Century.” This report called for a review of the Basic Consumer Law, laws to protect persons who disclose information in the public interest, and for consumers to protect their own market interests through autonomous groups. Consequently, consumer education should focus particularly on home and social education.

The purpose of this research is to show the progress of QOL through the medium of information and learning by taking into account the viewpoint on consumption by the elderly and their famies. The argument behind this research is part of consumer education, clarifying the area where welfare education is required.
The methodology is based on an investigation of cities, wards, towns, and village councils of social welfare from April to May of 2004. It is clear that each city, ward, town and village has its own autonomy as shown by statistics and that the results are also different. Furthermore, the study revealed that the grasp of people regarding welfare was worse than expected.
Consumer education and welfare education are both viewed as content which is acceptable to individuals. In this report, we show the necessity to support the consumer way of collaborating with both kinds of education, by setting up systematically welfare education as part of consumer education and consumer education as part of welfare education. To sum up, we should point out the argument for a new consumer education that is welfare education as part of consumer education.

This paper focuses on the development of a new method in consumer education by combining the research on information-related activities and practices of consumer education using life-indicators. We applied the life-indicators to evaluate elementary school students through the lessons of ethical training, Japanese, and social studies. The students are classified into three groups according to their information-related activities. The score of the self-evaluation of those with low activities remained low even after the lessons. On the other hand, the score of the students with high activities continuously increased after a decline. Moreover, they reached higher stages in the growth process as a human being as a result of consumer education.

The interest of the consumer in private asset management has shifted from simply saving money in a bank account to buying stocks, bonds or high-risk monetary investment during this decade. On the other hand, financial institutions such as banks, insurance companies, and securities firms have introduced ADRs to reduce risk on private investors and to protect consumers.
In this paper, I focus on analyzing the structure of ADR in terms of how the ADR is functioning in dispute solution and showing which part of the ADR is effective, and cannot be effective in dispute solution, and also indicate the future direction and alternative measurement of the ADR to protect the consumer from the risk in private asset management.

Community business refers to business activities that make active use of values of regional resources. Currently, various forms of the community business are created by people interested in regional resources for promoting fostering of regional talent, environmental conservation, active circulation of regional economy, generation of new employment, and so on. The present study has made an attempt to clarify the conditions under which the community business can achieve consumer education, by using an example of Kawabe River Syaku-ayu trust. The results of the study have shown that the community business can demonstrate a function of integrated "consumer education", which teaches local consumers about the values of regional resources, encourages them to grow as supporters of regional economy, and shares the achievements, when the bearers of the business communicate mutually with local consumers based on the idea and guiding principles of their business activities.

Regarding consumers' consciousness and the actual conditions ofchisanchishou, we surveyed citizens and high school students in the City of Oita.
The following results were obtained ;
Regarding consciousness; they attach importance to "freshness", "sense of confidence" and "safety" when they buy the products of the prefecture, but they are on the whole indifferent to environmental protection.
Regarding actual conditions; half the number of citizens are inclined to buy those products, but high school students show no interest.
Since there are also gaps in people's consciousness regarding other purchases along the lines of sex, age, and occupation, they need to have chances to receive education that takes account of those differences. Also they have little understanding of new trends.
Chisanchishou; local production-local consumption
