Research Abstract

Though family change in post-War Japanese society is taken for granted, we have few sociological discussion on the mechanism of change. We hope our research would be an asset for such discussion. The survey was planned to supplement National Family Research (NFRJ98) conducted by Japan Society for Family Sociology in 1998. Data from retrospective survey on family career and family event was analyzed through cohort comparison.
1. Survey Design: Probabilistic samples were extracted from women born between 1920 and 1969 (aged from 32 to 81 as of January 2002). 2. Field Survey: Structured questionnaires were distributed by research assistants, left to be filled in by informants themselves and collected by research assistants. Effective sample of 3475 were collected.
3. Data-base Comparison: After data cleaning, data-base was designed to be processed by SPSS. 4. Analysis and Findings: Findings from cohort comparison of family career, family event, occupational career, and care experience propose a hypothesis that family change in post-War Japanese society is not an unilinear process toward "modernization"/"westernization". Verification of the hypothesis and development of this research is the task left for us. 5. Report: Preliminary result with simple tabulation is prepared. Report of further analyses will be read at the annual meeting of Japan Society of Family Sociology in September 2003. 6. Disclosure of Data: Data-base is planned to be disclosed, finishing necessary data cleaning.
