Research on Interventions with Welfare Mother's Families Through Partnerships between Education and Social Work

1.通过本研究，明确了代际贫困再生产的概念。2003年明石出版社出版了《日本的无形贫困：福利母亲生活的现实》一书。2003年，我们在北海道大学举办了题为“贫困、不平等和社会正义：让无形贫困变得可见”的日美研讨会。我们在2004年的《教育与社会工作杂志》（第10期）上发表了该研讨会的报告和评论。美国学者和我们的资助团队之间的关系通过研讨会产生的主题，这将成为我们下一个研究保护的基础，即“日美贫困观的比较研究”。“.3.我们还在2004年与北海道民生院、智斗院仁美和北海道社会福利协会完成了三份关于这一主题的报告。1)关于北海道单亲家庭生活的报告2）关于北海道社会福利协会管理的教育贷款制度的报告3）关于北海道社会福利协会管理的失业者贷款制度的报告我们认为，这些制度虽然存在一些问题，但总体上是有效的，可以打破“代际贫困的再生产”。

1.We clarified the concept of the reproduction of intergenerational poverty through this research. The results ware published as a book called "Invisible Poverty in Japan : Realities of Welfare Mother's Lives", by Akashi publishing in 2003.2.We held a Japan-U.S. Symposium entitled "Poverty, Inequality and Social Justice : Making Invisible Poverty Visible" at Hokkaido University in 2003. We published reports and comments of that symposium in the Journal of Education and Social Work (No.10) in 2004. Relationship between U.S. scholars and our grant team formed through the symposium produced topics, which will become the basis of our next research protect, that is, "Comparative research on Views of Poverty in Japan and U.S.".3.We also completed three reports regarding this topic with Hokkaido Minsei-iin Jidou-iin Renmei and Hokkaido Social Welfare Association in 2004. 1) Report on the Lives of Single Parents in Hokkaido, 2) Report on the Educational Loan System managed by Hokkaido Social Welfare Association, 3) Report on the Loan System for the Unemployed managed by Hokkaido Social Welfare Association. We suggested that while these systems experienced some problems, but they generally were effective in breaking "The Reproduction of Intergenerational Poverty".
