| Research Abstract |
Intergenerational relationships between elderly parents and adult children in contemporary Japan were studied on the basis of literature review and interview surveys. It was found that public intergenerational transfers such as old-age pension did not weaken but rather have maintained family relationships as seen in the fact that elderly parents actively give financial support to their adult children. From this study, a new hypothesis was established that both patri-lineal and bilateral relationships coexist in contemporary Japanese families.
