| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Globalization of economy and population aging with low birth rates transform inter-generational relationships based on the gendered division of labor. This study examine two questions. 1) Which of the “individualization of spousal relationships” (namely each of the wife and the husband exchanges support with their own parents rather than with their spouse’s parents) or the “wife kin-keeper” (namely the wife, not the husband, exchanges support with both the wife’s and husband’s parents) are observed? 2) How has the gendered inheritance pattern changed? Analyses of the qualitative data of Japan revealed that 1) both the “individualization of spousal relationships” and “wife kin keeper” are observed when adult children give support to their parents, while only the “wife kin-keeper” is observed when the parents give support to adult children; and 2) gendered inheritance pattern has been weaken but maintained with more men receiving real estate while more women receiving money.
