经济发展与劳动者处境恶化——日本社会主义思想产生的内在社会根源

Economic Development and Deterioration of Labors' Condition: Social Origin of Japan's Socialism Thought during Meiji Period

明治维新后,随着日本新政府"殖产兴业"政策的大力推行,社会经济迅猛发展,但与此同时,劳动者的待遇并没有随着经济发展和社会进步而相应提高,处境并未相应改善,反而呈现待遇越来越差、处境越来越恶化的趋势,煤矿、铜矿、纺织等行业工人和广大农民劳动环境十分恶劣、受剥削过于严重、生活状况异常悲惨的信息不断见诸各类媒体,社会贫富悬殊的现实也被社会主义者揭露出来,引起了社会的强烈关注,构成了日本社会主义思潮产生的内在原因。

After the Meiji Restoration, with the vigorous implementation of developing policy by the new Japanese government, social economy developed rapidly. Nevertheless, treatment of workers did not improve with economic development and social progress, and their condition did not improve. Instead, their treatment and condition were consistently deteriorated. Terrible working conditions, serious exploitation and extremely poor living conditions of workers in the coal mines, copper mines, textiles and other industries were frequently disclosed by the media. The disparity between the rich and the poor was exposed by socialists. All has aroused strong concern from the society and constitutes the internal cause of the Japanese socialist trend of thought.
