Book Chapter
Life at War
2024
Overview
This chapter looks at the relationship between Japan's life insurance industry and wartime expansion. Starting as early as 1931, reformers advocated for nationalizing the industry to fund imperial expansion. Although full-scale nationalization of the Life Insurance Association never occurred, direction from above increased as the war dragged on and as life insurance became incorporated into the control economy. The chapter discusses ideologues that hoped to use life insurance to help maintain popular support for the war by managing the fears of the populace and compensating the families of the dead. The very legitimate fear of death that most people might have experienced was channeled back into support for the very same war effort that threatened their livelihoods.
