| Research Abstract |
How parents support their children's leaving home, independence, career choice and marriage, and how do the children recognize these were analyzed from the perspective of generation and international comparison. As a result, higher education are found in younger generation, so child-rearing and the education expenses burden by parents are heavy. Marriage is no longer the conditions of being independent, but the meaning has changed to becoming independent in life. A rural family is comparatively stable in life, but these actual issues emerged from survey to young people : job shortage, needy parents, support beyond generation, e. g. a grandchild's tuition is given by grandparents' pension, or a family's life supported by a child's scholarship. From international comparative research, in order to cope with international community, the importance of the modality of child-rearing which takes the Japanese family's culture and tradition into consideration and its support has been pointed out.
