| Research Abstract |
The expansion of private sector in higher education. is remarkable in East Asia and Japanese families have traditionally invested into higher education. However, in recent years, because of the recession the 'cost-sharing' debate has reactivated. To construct a proper cost-sharing system in higher education it is necessary to explore the structure of family investment and our project practice an assessment survey on higher education by parents of private university graduates. We focused on these three points 1) the involvement of families consuming process of higher education, 2) the satisfaction structure of parents in higher education, 3) the difference of between first generation and second generation families.
The main findings are as follows. 1. Reinforcement of traditional image of university life through the consumption of second generation. 2. People are (forced to) satisfied with current condition within Japanese context, but highly problematic in international context. 3. First generation may have more 'globalized' university image, by contrast second generation consumption could be obstacles of drastic change.
