Research Abstract

The study was undertaken to investigate relations between diversification of family relationships and family welfare policies, comparing with Sweden. The specific questions were addressed as follows : (1) how family relationship are diversified? (2) what ideologies are hidden behind family welfare policies? (3) how family welfare policies and their ideologies affect family life and work?
The questionnaire was sent to married couples where husbands were born between 1938 * 1978, randomly selected from a listing of eligible people in each self-governing body in 4 cities in the Prefecture of Osaka. The subjects were 862 couples (862 wives, 862 husbands), living in nuclear family households.
The results of the study indicated following findings :
(1)Not only attitudes and values regarding family, but also actual conditions of family life were diversified according to husbands-wife and different forms of working.
(2)Comparison with the Swedish Survey indicated that husbands-wife relationships were very different between two countries. For instance, compared with Japanese men, men in Sweden were much more engaged in housework and strongly support the equality of men and women.
(3)Family welfare policies and their ideologies affected various aspects of individuals' and couples' lives.
