Against the background of the continuous expansion and the convergence of shadow education systems across the globe, the findings of thisbook call for similar works in other national contexts, particularly Western societies without traditional large-scale shadow education markets.

“Shadow Education and Social Inequalities in Japan, Entrich presents the findings of work he conducted in Japan over a six-year period. As the title implies, the author is particularly interested in the effects of shadow education on students from different socio-economic backgrounds. … Shadow Education and Social Inequalities in Japan explores changes in the juku industry in more detail than any other study of this topic that I have read.” (Christopher Bjork, Pacific Affairs, Vol. 92 (1), March 2019)
