| Research Abstract |
In order to examine the outlook for gender-equitable policy for care labor in Japan, we conducted research using Sweden, a country evaluated as a gender equal country, as an indicator. Focusing on elder care and child care policies, we conducted a field survey and revealed the current situation and challenges through the joint research with collaborators in Sweden. Attempts to compare the institutions and policies of current Japan were made, and factors leading to differences between the two countries were examined. One such policy relating to care in Sweden, that is, the formation of family policy, was verified and compared with Japan's policy. Considerable success has been obtained that it will become of value to Japan as it gradually expands its gender-equitable policy.
