Professor OYABU Chiho, Vice President and Professor at the Faculty of Education will Publish "Life Economics"

"Life Economics" explores the relationship between life and money, starting with a historical perspective and then examining household financial mechanisms and rules. The book covers various household types, such as single-person, dual-income, single-parent, and elderly households. The book also addresses social security systems, investment education, and consumer issues. Additionally, it introduces the lifestyle of the Amish, who live very differently from modern society, and suggests that we can learn from their way of life, especially in the face of major disasters like earthquakes.
