This book offers a new perspective and empirical evidence that are
relevant for understanding changes in family structures,
intergenerational relationships, and female labor force
participation in the "strong family" societies and that also shed
light on those in the "weak family" societies. Focusing on the stem
family and the gender division of labor, presenting detailed
quantitative evidence, and testing the theories on family change
and gender revolution, the book provides a comprehensive
examination of change, continuity, and regionality in the Japanese
family system over the twentieth century. By analyzing data from a
nationally representative life course survey with event history
techniques, it investigates factors affecting post-marital
intergenerational co-residence and proximate residence along with
those influencing continuous and/or discontinuous employment of
married women across the life course. In this way, it reveals the
mechanisms underlying the stem family formation and those behind
married women's M-shaped employment pattern. It further explores
regionality in the Japanese family system, applying a demographic
mapping method to data from a nationally representative community
survey and official statistics. The mapping analyses demonstrate
persistent geographical contrasts between two types of living
arrangements (single-household versus multi-household) in the stem
family accompanied by two types of maternal employment (full-time
versus part-time). They also reveal a historical correlation
between traditional communal parenting systems and modern childcare
services, linking past to present from the late nineteenth to the
early twenty-first century.
