Outline of Final Research Achievements

Unlike the general method of measuring poverty on the basis of household unit, new methods have been developed to open the black box of the household and understand the distribution of resources within the househild, or to understand poverty on an individual basis. In Japan, on the other hand, it was household research in the 1990s that attempted to understand resource allocation within the households, but these studies were rarely linked to poverty research and have not been updated to recent global research trends. This study reviews the development and reach of these studies and internationally situates the realities of intra-household resource allocation in Japan and the characteristics of research on these issues.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

貧困研究においては、世帯を単位に貧困が把握されることが一般的だが、女性の貧困はそれでは見えなくなってしまいがちであること、その問題を解消するために、新たにどのように貧困を把握できる可能性があるかについて、日本ではほとんど知られていなかった。世帯内における資源配分の不平等を把握しようとする本研究は、世帯を単位にしてきた従来の貧困
研究の方法論を刷新する可能性を持ち、貧困概念やその捉え方をジェンダー視点から豊富化させる理論的観点からその重要性を位置づけることができる。くわえて、見えにくい女性の貧困の実態を可視化させることにつながるものである。
