Research Abstract

Japanese rural communities and farm families have been changing noticeably. A new way of exploring their transition is required. We turned to a framework of life-course analysis. Changing communities and families are a consequence of individuals who took diversifying life-courses. Some life-courses may be confronted with others and forced to alter its direction. Some may find a new form of cooperation with others.
In this research we got several findings. (1) A generation born in 1926〜35 has been playing an important and leading role in postwar rural Japan. (2) Directly opposite to this generation stand young and middle rural women. Their life-courses are in conflict with the ones of their older generation. They are living very different lives from their mothers. (3) Relations between fathers and their sons have changed. Sons are pursuing their own lives, which means that fathers have lost a position as a model for the young. They followed very different life-courses. (4) Many farm families are increasingly making an agreement about family farming. It is generally put into writing with signatures of the family members concerned. Diversified life-courses need to be integrated into a family farm not by an old norm of stem family system but an agreement among family members. (5) Dwellers from cities are a new component of rural communities. Some married farmers, some began organic farming, some entered after retirement and others with each objective.
