Research Abstract

Our report consists of 4 chapters. In the first draper, we examined the correlation between the ratio of after-school children's clubs to the number of public primary schools in 1581 communities, and the ratio of the elderly and also the ratio of employees of primary industries. We found out that these variables are closely related with each other. In the second chapter, results of the survey of children in the afterschool-children's clubs are presented. The children were found to enjoy various activities. Most of them feel pleasant at the afterschool-children's clubs, while some of them feel ambivalent about their clubs. In the third chapter, we reviewed the survey data of parents, mainly mothers, whose children are enrolled in the afterschool-children's clubs. They appreciate the good influence of group activities in the clubs and the effect of education by trained care-workers on their children. At the same time they feel that the improvement of the child-care program is necessary. They feel, also, the necessity of improvement on parents' way of participation in managing the clubs. In the last chapter, results of the survey of care-workers working in the afterschool-children's clubs are reviewed. We found that they recognize the role of the club is important as an indispensable facility for working parents. They seem to believe that it is important for children to experience the group activities after school.
