    Although Japanese sociologists are currently concerned with the methods and the outcomes of their teaching, no study has been made in terms of what individual professors actually teach in their classes and how far those classes are coordinated with each other. The four authors of this paper report what they teach in the introductory courses of sociology, and explore ways for better co-ordination through mutual review of their course contents. Furthermore, a half of the first-year students registered at the department of sociology were asked how far those introductory courses were coordinated with each other and helped them to understand sociology. The study shows that although the courses are coordinated to some extent there is much room to improve the current course contents.

  • “Japanese people’s preference for care as a care giver and a care receiver: A comparison between men and women”

    YAMATO Reiko

    Japanese society has a cultural tradition that adult children should take care of their elderly parents. From the 1980s, however, increasing number of Japanese people, especially women, began to think that they would prefer professional care rather than family care when long-term caring was needed. An ordinary explanation for this attitudinal change says that women prefer professional care to family care because they are usually expected to be a care giver for the family, thus want to avoid shouldering a responsibility of giving long-term care to the family. Present study aims at critically examining this "women-avoid-care-giving" hypothesis by comparing three types of Japanese people's attitudes: first, preferences between family care and professional care if a respondent were in the position of a care giver for their family; second, the preferences if a respondent were in the position of a care receiver; and third, the preference as a general attitude. According to the results, from the view point of a family care giver, there were no significant gender differences in preferences, whereas from the view point of a care receiver, women were more likely than men to prefer professional care. The results of the general attitudes were similar to the attitudes as care receiver. These findings indicate that women are more likely than men to prefer professional care not because women want to avoid giving long-term care for the family, but because they want to avoid being cared for by their family. In other words, Japanese women are willing not to force their husband or children to shoulder the burden of taking long-term care for them, therefore they prefer professional care to family care. Implications of the results for gendered identities are discussed.

  • Changing attitudes towards elderly dependence in Postwar Japan

    There is a stereotypical view that East Asian cultures value familism and filial piety, regarding elderly dependence on children as morally desirable. The present study, examining postwar Japan as a case, shows that the social changes this country has undergone have transformed people's attitudes such that more and more people are seeing elderly dependence on children as less desirable. It is suggested that in order to understand attitudinal changes towards intergenerational relationships in postwar Japan, two research frameworks are necessary: one that takes public welfare systems into consideration as a context where such relationships are placed, and another that distinguishes financial dependence from dependence for personal care. Examining surveys conducted in the last four decades, it is argued that attitudes towards finance changed far earlier than those towards personal care did, and that these attitudinal changes are closely related to the extent to which public welfare systems have developed.

  • “How Japanese women have accommodated their work career and family careers: Focusing on re-entry into the labor market after child-rearing”

    The present study, focusing on Japanese womens re-entry into the labor market after child-rearing, shows how the manner of re-entry and factors which influence it have changed between the 1926-1945 birth cohort, here referred to as the older cohort, the 1946-1955 one, referred to as the middle cohort, and the 1956-1965 one, referred to as the younger cohort. The data of the Social-Stratification-and-Social-Mobility national survey conducted in 1995 were analyzed. The results show that for the older cohort, there were diversities in terms of the timing of re-entry, the social class backgrounds of those who re-entered, and employment statuses after re-entry. In contrast, progressive uniformity was observed in the way in which the middle cohort re-entered into the labor market. In this cohort, women with lower educational levels were more likely to re-enter than those with higher ones; most of them re-entered when the last child was around 8 years old; and most of them were re-employed as part-timers. With regard to the younger cohort, progressive diversities were observed again in terms of the timing of the re-entry, and employment statuses after re-entry.

  • Does Husbands' Sharing of Housework Increase Wives' Marital Satisfaction?: A Study of Japanese Wives with Reference to the Wives' Contribution to the Household Income Reviewed

    Precedent researches have suggested that it depends on situations where couples are placed how far husbands' sharing of housework increases wives' marital satisfaction. The present study focuses on wives' income contribution to the household, and examines whether the effect of husbands' sharing of housework on wives' marital satisfaction differs according to the extent to which wives financially contribute to the household. Japanese nationally representative data collected in 1999 are analyzed. The results are as follows. For couples with small children, husbands' sharing of housework always increases wives' marital satisfaction despite the level of wives' contributions to the household income. For couples without such small children, however, the effect of husbands' housework performance differs between wives with higher income contributions and those with no or smaller contributions. Our data shows that, for wives who earn more than 30% of their household income, husbands' performance of housework has positive effects on wives' marital satisfaction, whereas for wives who earn less than 30% of the household income, husbands' sharing of housework has no effect on wives' marital satisfaction. On the basis of these results, it is discussed that the gendered division of housework, where wives perform almost all household tasks, brings about different consequences to individuals depending on gender and whether or not husbands play the role of a sole breadwinner.<br><br>Key words: housework, marital satisfaction,<br> wife's contribution to the household income

    Grant amount:\17420000 ( Direct Cost: \13400000 、 Indirect Cost:\4020000 )

    The CAFS database that includes the results of our surveys conducted in 7 areas from 5 countries has been constructed and made public. The research results based on the CAFS database by our research team including young scholars and students from Japan and other countries are already published in academic journals and as CAFS working papers. A comprehensive result that compares 7 areas from 5 countries will be published as books both in English and Japanese. The Japanese book will be published from Kyoto University Press. Stark differences between East Asia and Southeast Asia in both generational and gender relationships, significant differences between north and south regions of Vietnam, gaps between attitudes and behaviors in Southeast Asian societies and gaps by age and educational background are among the most important findings.

    To reinforce the strength of the CAFS (Comparative Asian Family Survey) database, we conducted two additional surveys in Turkey (2016) and Can Tho in the south of Vietnam (2017) to study the diversity in the Islamic societies and to find a missing link between East Asia and Southeast Asia. We constructed a database covering 8 areas in 6 countries in 2017. Our comparative analyses revealed unexpectedly wide differences in the Islamic societies as well as the changes in the social norms in patrilineal societies. We published Care Relations in Southeast Asia(Brill, 2018)in English and are preparing for another book. The datasets from Southeast Asia are open now.

  • An empirical study of inheritance in today's Japan

      More details

    Grant amount:\3770000 ( Direct Cost: \2900000 、 Indirect Cost:\870000 )

    This study aims at analyzing inheritance in Japan today in relation to other aspects of intergenerational relationships including residential arrangements and support exchanges. The finding from the analysis is that intergenerational relationships in Japan today are not straightforwardly guided by one principle. Intergenerational relationships as a whole consist of various different relations, which include emphases on the husband's side of the family vs. on the wife's side of the family; on the male heir vs. on the female heir vs. equal distribution of responsibilities or resources.
    A reason for such multidimensional relationships could be that people make adjustments so as to keep a balance in intergenerational relationships between the traditional inclination toward prioritizing the husband's side of the family or the male heir and the recent tendency toward emphasizing the wife's side of the family or the female heir or equal distribution of responsibilities or resources.

    We compiled a database of survey questions used in quantitative family research in Japan. The database is organized by topics and includes a list of questions and response categories and details of the data collection method. From the database, we identified themes that can be analyzed using “integrative data analysis.” Such themes include the division of and time spent on housework and childcare; communication, companionship and decision-making between partners; relationship satisfaction; and ideas regarding families. In addition, we undertook an Internet survey (n=1271) in order to compare the response patterns when different response categories are used on the same question and when different questions are asked on the same phenomenon. We also conducted face-to-face interviews with 6 married couples on the survey questions in order to understand these response patterns.

    We described and explained the changing values in Japan, 1973-2008, comparing with those in other countries. Our main findings are as follows. Firstly, the direction of value changes were not toward the post-modernity, but toward the hyper-modernity. Post-modernization of values means diversification of values, decreasing association between values and social class, and recession of modern values. Hyper-modernization means rising orientation toward private life, and self expression. Secondly, We decomposed the value changes into three factors: age, period, and cohort (APC). Although the effects of APC were inconsistent, the effects of cohort were consistently smaller than previous studies had emphasized. When a large value change happened in a whole society, it happened among older cohorts as well as younger cohorts.

    We pubish book entitled 'Families in Japan,1999-2009: Based upon quantitative analyses of National Family Research of Japan (NFRJ)', which is consisted of nineteen papers written by twenty eight representive family researchers in Japan, in June 2016 from University of Tokyo Press (now printing).
    We analyzed structures and changes of families in Japan mainly around preiod between 1999 to 2009, based upon National Family Reserach of Japan 2008 data set(NFRJ08),with NFRJ98 data set and/or NFRJ03 data set.
    Thorugh the analyses, we can see the trend that people depend more on one's family of orientation during these period, though we can also see the disadvantages of people who do not have such resourceful family relationships gradually increasing.

    Globalization of economy and population aging with low birth rates transform inter-generational relationships based on the gendered division of labor. This study examine two questions. 1) Which of the “individualization of spousal relationships” (namely each of the wife and the husband exchanges support with their own parents rather than with their spouse’s parents) or the “wife kin-keeper” (namely the wife, not the husband, exchanges support with both the wife’s and husband’s parents) are observed? 2) How has the gendered inheritance pattern changed? Analyses of the qualitative data of Japan revealed that 1) both the “individualization of spousal relationships” and “wife kin keeper” are observed when adult children give support to their parents, while only the “wife kin-keeper” is observed when the parents give support to adult children; and 2) gendered inheritance pattern has been weaken but maintained with more men receiving real estate while more women receiving money.

    It has been made clear by statistics that Asian families are diverse and cannot be reduced to geographical differences between East Asia and Southeast Asia. The myth of a monolithic "Asian Familism" tradition is also untrue. However, under the common condition of compressed modernity, welfare regimes have evolved where the role of the market is greater than that of the state and the economic burden of families is large; and in turn through the employment of migrant domestic workers and the characteristics of the labor market we see gender divisions becoming fixed and modern norms being further reinforced.

    Using quantitative and qualitative data, this study examined the hypothesis that the parents-adult children relationships in the post-war Japan can be understood as the coexistence of patrilineal and gendered bilateral relationships. According to the results, first, the hypothesis is supported. Second, the coexistence of the two relationships hinders the smooth flow of resources between generations (i.e. the exchange of long-term care with inheritance). Third, the recent changes in the gendered division of labor in the adult-children’s household have altered the previous parents-adult children relationships and increased the coresidence with the wife’s parents.

    In order to develop international comparative study of occupational and educational inequality from the standpoint of East Asia, we proposed an East Asian stratification model in which we developed perspectives, conceptions, and methodology for effectively analyzing East Asian properties based on survey data. Within the common framework of educational expansion and rapid late-industrialization, it is important to evaluate influences of the historical and institutional differences with regard to educational institutions, labor institutions and economic organizations, gender, and social groups.

    Intergenerational relationships between elderly parents and adult children in contemporary Japan were studied on the basis of literature review and interview surveys. It was found that public intergenerational transfers such as old-age pension did not weaken but rather have maintained family relationships as seen in the fact that elderly parents actively give financial support to their adult children. From this study, a new hypothesis was established that both patri-lineal and bilateral relationships coexist in contemporary Japanese families.

    This research examines three types of societies categorized by the patterns of women's labor force participation rate. "An inverted U-shaped Curve" society ; China and Thailand, "a Giraffe Curve" society ; Singapore and Taiwan, and "an M-shaped Curve" society ; Japan and Korea. This means that people, except the area of Japan and Korea, take the style of two-income family after childbirth and child rearing.
    In China, Thailand, and Singapore, relatives (parents, specially) help child rearing, and people hire servants in need. This has maintained the style of two-income family among those countries. Besides this point, each country has its own specific characteristics. In China (the South) today, women in maternity and in child rearing sustain their jobs by gaining the help by relatives (specially. by grandparents) and fathers' participation in child rearing. In recent Thailand (Urban Middle Class), the way of child rearing is changing. Depending on the marketization of housework, it shifts from the care by parents (by wives, in general) and resident maids to the care by the staffs in a private day-care center. Urban Middle Class in Thailand starts having a full-time housewife. In 1998 and 1999, it had the first M-shaped Curve in the women's labor force participation rate. In Singapore, generally, relatives take care of a child, and parents hire foster parents for child rearing until a child enter a kindergarten. As the sign of marketization of child rearing, it is the most significant characteristic of Singapore that a resident maid take care housework instead of parents (parents do not do any housework).
    In conclusion, even in Japan and Korea, an M-shaped Curve society, the women's work force participation rate is now raising. In both countries, parents on wife's side support child rearing and use kindergartens for it, and a father participates in child rearing. However, Korea doesn't have an issue of isolation of mothers in child rearing. It is because people have closer relationship between relatives and various networks (neighborhoods and friends) more than Japan. Therefore, anxiety in child rearing remains one of the specific characteristics seen in Japan, which is unique in Asia.

    The purpose of this study is to think about the possibility that housework is shared with men and by public sector in Japanese context. For that purpose, we had already conducted a questionnaire survey in 1995 both at urban and rural areas in Hyogo prefecture and had analyzed that data. In this project, we conducted an interview survey again in Hyogo prefecture during 2000 and 2001.
    This year we analyzed the interview data and gave some papers at academic conferences and wrote a report of this project And besides, we held a public seminar on the theme of "From big merchant ie in Tokugawa era to zaibatsu in modern Japan; from perspective of le-dozoku theory.
    Major findings of our interview survey are as follows. 1) The reason why Japanese women do almost all housework is that there is a kind of mechanism in which women get their gender identity by doing housework, not that they have strong gender role norms; 2) One of the important contexts in which men do housework is the necessity of caring for their own parents, a cause of life stage. 3) The meanings of sphere separation in rural area are different from that in urban area. In urban area, the concept of modern occupational/domestic separation of spheres is often indicated by informants and housework is spoken as chores which are done in domestic sphere, whereas in rural area, the concept of soto-shigoto(work of outside sphere)/naka-shigoto(work of inside sphere) separation is sometimes indicated by informants. 4) The occupational labor of women does not change men's gender role orientation but changes that of women. 5) Geiider and socio-economic status effect the meanings of ublic/private spheres, which are related to the orientation of receiving care after getting aged.

    どのような人が家族外からの介護を受け入れ、どのような人が家族にしか介護してもらいたくないと思っているのか、を明らかにするために、サポート・ネットワークの視点から分析を行った。その結果次のようなことが明らかになった。
    1.性別について:介護・精神援助・経済援助のいずれにおいても、男性より女性の方が多くの多様なネットワークをもっている。
    以下の2.〜8.は、介護ネットワークについて検討した結果である。
    2.年齢について:30歳代は1親等家族(親子・夫婦関係)が中心だが、40代以降になると専門機関に頼る傾向がみられる。
    3.世帯形態について:男性では、現実の同居のしかたが介護ネットワークのあり方を規定しているのに対して、女性ではそのような傾向は見られない。
    4.居住地域について:都市になるほど男女のズレが大きくなる。つまり都市になるほど、女性は専門機関に頼る人が増えるのに対し、男性は1親等家族に頼る人が増える。
    5.社会経済的地位について:この点においても、社会経済的地位が高いほど男女のズレが大きくなる。夫婦の最終教育歴、夫の職業的地位や年収が高い場合は、妻は専門機関に頼る傾向が強まるのに対して、夫は1親等家族に頼る傾向が強まる。
    6.家族愛意識・性別役割分業意識について:家族愛意識は男・女ともに、性別役割分業意識は女性において影響がみられた。このような意識が強い人の介護ネットワークは一親等家族や親族に限定される傾向にあり、逆にこのような意識が弱い人の介護ネットワークは、非親族や専門機関にまで広がる傾向がみられた。
    7.家事について:人間関係を調整する家事においては、そのような家事を行っている人の方が、介護ネットワークは1親等家族を越えてひろがる傾向が見られた。
    8.地域活動への参加について:男女ともに、地域活動をしている人は、介護ネットワークが一親等家族の外に広がっているのに対し、地域活動をしていない人は、一親等家族に頼りがちである。

    今年度は2つの研究を行った。
    1つめとして、新聞の投書欄に寄せられた投書をもとに、現在人々がもつ家族イメージを分析した。すでに他の研究によって、家族とは人々がをれぞれもっている主観的な像であり、家族/非家族の区別は人々がそれぞれ主観的に行っているということが明らかにされている。それでは人々はどのような基準で家族/非家族の区別を行っているのであろうか。それを明らかにするためにまず、人々が家族に対してもつイメージを探った。それによると、家族内においては「無償性」「非業績主義」「比較不能性-交換不能性」という原理が貫通している(すべきである)と考えられていることがわかった。また、このような原理がはたらくゆえに、家族は「自己の存在の根拠」を無条件に与えてくれる場であり、「安らぎ」の場であると考えられていることもわかった。人々は、家族には上記のような特徴があり、非家族にはそのような特徴はないという、2分法的な単純化されて世界観を繰り返し述べている。そして人々は、上記のような原理を将来に向けて維持できるような人物を家族に区分し、維持できないような人物は「もう家族とは思わない」という形で非家族に区分する傾向があることがわかった。今後は、家族イメージの年齢差やジェンダー差、また時代差について調べていきたい。
    2つめとして、筆者が既に収集していた数量データを分析して、中年期の女性のもつ家族イメージが、学歴、就労形態、家族形態などの基本属性によってどのように異なるかについて分析した。学歴が高いほうが、フルタイムの仕事をもっているほうが、子供や夫がいない人の方が、伝統的な家族意識から解放されている度合いが大きいことがわかった。ただし、家族イメージを構成する個々の項目によって、解放度には差がある。そこで今後はどの項目では差が大きく、どの項目では小さいのかなど、さらに詳細な分析を進めたい。
