Abstract
During last two decades under influence of a number of factors the Japanese society has undergone essential changes. The equality of incomes, roughly the same level of welfare of different layers of population, orientation of the most part of families toward a certain standard way of life and toward common system of values have changed by the evident division of society by income level and social status, by differentiation of life styles and life preferences. As a result the new social groups were formed, first of all among young Japanese, which life styles and system of values represent the evident deviation of common norms and values. The most part of those, who belong to these non-standard groups, live at the expense of their families or state support, and their existence represent not social problem only, but economic one as well.
