Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, I conducted a quantitative approach focusing on the time use of children and adolescents and their parents, which can cause socio-economic gaps in children's development and status attainment, Using the Survey on Time Use and Leisure Activities, I found that the parental approach to their children, based on their behavior during the same time, does not necessarily cause SES gap in children's behavior, that the school system affects the distribution of children's learning time, and that the division of household chores and childcare by couples differs depending on the time of day. These findings have policy implications as well as contribute to social stratification research and time-use research.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、子どもの発達や地位達成における階層差を生じさせうる、小中高生の子どもとその親の生活時間に着目して研究を進めたその結果、同じ時間帯の行動から把握した親から子どもへの働きかけは、かならずしも子どもの行動の階層差を生じさせないことが明らかになった。従来の生活時間研究では時間帯に着目した研究は十分ではなく、社会階層論では家庭内の相互作用に着目した研究も少ない。本研究成果はこうした点を克服し、生活時間からみた子育て研究に新たな知見を与えている。
