Research Abstract |
This study examines changes in attitudes to gender roles in contemporary Japan by mainly using panel survey data in 2011-13 JLPS (Japanese Life Course Panel Survey). The major conclusions of this study are as follows: 1) Against our initial expectation, gender role attitudes are rather unstable in Japan and major change come from marriage experience for both men and women. 2) Especially among women, there is a tendency that gender role attitudes can change according to their employment conditions after marriage rather than determine their employment choices. 3) For both men and women, there is a strong relation between regarding happy family life as important and accepting traditional gender role in division of labor within families(male breadwinner, and female homemaker).
