Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research attempts to examine Japanese partnership, marriage, fertility, and inter-generational relations from an international comparative perspective. More specifically, we firstly conducted the Japanese Generations and Gender Panel Survey (GGS) and collected micro-data concerning Japanese family relations and formation. In the second place, we collected macro-data on labour policy, welfare policy, family policy, wages, education, and employment in Japan. We analyzed partnership formation, childbearing, child-rearing and inter-generational support in Japan by combining the micro-and macro-data we collected. Furthermore, thanks to a comparative analysis between Japan and other developed countries, we draw policy implications for the sustainable development of Japanese society undergoing lowest-low fertility with an ageing and shrinking population.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の学術的意義は第一に日本の少子高齢社会において垂直方向の世代関係と水平方向のジェンダー関係をリンクさせながら包括的にパートナー関係、出生行動、世代関係を分析した点ある。第二にパネル・データにより家族と世代関係の特徴をダイナミックな観点から明かした点である。社会的意義は第一に高齢の祖父母世代が増え祖父母-親-子供の三世代の併存が増大する日本に不可欠な世代間支援について政策提言した点である。第二に日本の少子高齢人口減少社会に必要な水平的な夫婦関係における「ワーク・ライフ・バランス」と垂直的な親子・世代関係における「ワーク・ライフ・バランス」を実現させる基礎となる提言をおこなった点である。
