Research Abstract

Using quantitative and qualitative data, this study examined the hypothesis that the parents-adult children relationships in the post-war Japan can be understood as the coexistence of patrilineal and gendered bilateral relationships. According to the results, first, the hypothesis is supported. Second, the coexistence of the two relationships hinders the smooth flow of resources between generations (i.e. the exchange of long-term care with inheritance). Third, the recent changes in the gendered division of labor in the adult-children’s household have altered the previous parents-adult children relationships and increased the coresidence with the wife’s parents.
