日本90年代区域差异的现状与趋势

在都道府县层次上，日本的经济区域差异已比较小。从ＧＤＰ的人均生产额来说，最高的东京都与最低的奈良县之比为３倍左右；从人均分配所得来说，最高的东京与最低的冲绳县之比只有２倍左右。所以分配的差异比生产的差异更小。但人口密度和经济密度的区域差异仍很突出。人口密度的差异达到７０多倍。经济密度的差异更达到１６０多倍。日本经济区域差异的缩小主要发生在６０、７０年代，在８０年代反而有所扩大，９０年代主要由于泡沫经济的破灭又有所缩小。在今后几年，在泡沫经济破灭、东亚经济危机等暂时因素和较高的经济发展水平、越来越注重环境和福利的价值观等长远因素的作用下，日本的区域差异还将进一步缩小。

THE PRESENT SITUATIONS AND TRENDS OFTHE REGIONAL DIFFERENCE OF JAPAN

The economic regional difference of Japan reduced greatly in 60's and 70's. But it turned adversely to widen in 80's. Mainly because of the influence of the breakage of foam economy of Japan in 1990 and the East Asian economic crisis in 1997, it turned to reduce again in 90's. Now it is relatively small. On the level of province, the ratio of the highest national income distributed per person with the lowest is about 2 times while the ratio of the highest GDP per person with the lowest is about 3 times. Even so, the regional differences of population density and economy density are still very high.
