| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we investigate the economic situation of young people and their regional differences, estimate how their situation and other factors affect their birth rate, and present effective measures against declining birth rate in Japan.
From our analysis, we found that the degree of income inequality among young people and the proportion of young and low income households tended to be higher for the rural areas. On the other hand, we showed that the birth rates of each area are affected by the proportion of young population, the female unmarried rate, and the nuclear family households ratio, and other factors. Moreover, the birth rates are clearly low in urbanized areas. From these result, we concluded that the measures such as increasing marriage and childcare support for young people could contribute to improvement of the birth rate in Japan.
