| Research Abstract |
The research project has empirically studied intra-household resource allocation and intergenerational transmission of economic status. Analyses using household micro-data showed following results. (A) As regards intra-household resource allocation between the couple, an increase of contribution by the wife to the household income increases consumption ratio for the wife, and also reduces her housework share. (B) The degree of intergenerational transmission of income is rated as moderate in an international comparison, and educational spending contributes 40-50% of the transmission. (C) Low-income family tends to receive more financial aid from parents conditional on parental income. Thus, parental aid tends to be progressive.
