| Research Abstract |
In this survey project, we pursued a long-term panel survey which had more than twenty-five years of interval. The purpose of it was to analyze the relationship between macro social change and individual lifecourse in recent Japanese society. Moreover, we have collaborated with the US counterpart conducted the equivalent survey project, so that we could comparatively analyze the data from the United States and Japan. This enabled us to sort out the similarity and differences of these two societies.
Our practice also proofed that with an appropriate research design, it was possible to carry out such a long-term follow up survey.
The data told us that the employees worked from 60s to 80s in the United States and those worked from 80s to now-a-days in Japan have similar traits in the influence of job conditions to their values and attitudes. In other words, we could find the similarity of social function in these industrialized societies. At the same time, we found US-Japan differences which are based on the cultural and historical differences. Our conclusion is that there exist cultural differences as well as fundamental similarity of the industrial structure of the societies.
We could obtain valuable data of lifecouse value change along with individual's changes of life condition as well as macro social change.
