This book provides a valuable introduction to historical and
sociological studies of family change in Japan. The author
discusses the organization and assumptions of the academic
disciplines, introduces resources for cross-cultural research on
family change, and summarizes research results in areas such as
infanticide, preindustrial mobility, family size and structure,
family relations, mate selection, and the elderly. Summaries of
Japanese studies and translated tables and graphs are integrated
with materials from relevant English language publications from the
perspective of life course theory. The book points out difficulties
in cross-cultural research but stresses the vital contributions of
such insights for the understanding of family change.
