Educational attainment:
According to the statistics shown by the world data bank (data. World Bank), the primary school enrollment numbers are above 100%, this is due to late enrollment of some students, and the ages of the students that are enrolling (too-old or too young). These numbers are included by the World Bank data collections. In comparison with other high income countries Japan is more or less on the same level.

Whether average incomes are sufficient for people to survive:
Part of being a high income country is that income that is generated by a population should be above average however, this measurement does not take into consideration if the amount is divided equally among the people of that country.
The HDI index takes this into considerations, this is called the purchasing power parity (PPP).

Even in the rise of factories, agricultural labour was still the base of two-thirds of labour by the end of the nineteenth century . That being said, factory workers grew from “a few thousand in the 1870’s to nearly 300,000 in 1892 .” Although factories were not as large as agricultural work yet, factories pushed to the modernization and industrialization of Japan to be the large country it was by 1912.…

    Another issue of Japanese education, especially when compared to western countries, would lie in the effects of Japan’s homogenous characteristic of its citizens. While this unique national trait helps bring the country and its inhabitants together as a whole, in schools this tends to take away from individuality, especially when it comes to students that were born differently from the standard Japanese. In an article in The Japan Times, the most popular English-language newspaper in Japan, O’donoghue (2015) says that although differential treatment is not incited in Japan, “by emphasizing sameness they [the teachers] could be instilling conformity and intolerance of difference.” Each student’s uniqueness seems to be taken away due to this…
