Gender and Intergenerational Wealth Transfer

这项研究的重点是财产继承（代际所有权）和土地（真实的房地产）。审查了三项调查;（1）1991年至1998年的遗产研究;（2）1998年的财产研究;（3）2002年的女农民状况研究。这些研究不仅针对东京、福冈、山形等城市地区的劳动者家庭，而且针对全国的农户家庭进行。研究结果表明，土地或真实的不动产财产的性别差异大于金融财产。人们通常认为，男女之间的财产差异是基于妇女无偿的家务劳动，但真实的财产差异受到日常继承习俗的影响，在农业家庭中，有三种财产所有权的显著性别差异：农业用地、住房用地和房屋。管理层中的男性农民意识到购买的农业土地或继承的土地可以处置，而女性农民根本不知道这一点。在财产处置意识方面，性别差距很大，男女之间，特别是夫妻之间在财产所有权方面存在差异。人们认为，妇女需要拥有自己的财产，以实现两性平等的社会

This study was focused upon property inheritance (inter-generational ownership) and land (real estate). Three surveys were examined ; 1) inheritance research from 1991 to 1998, 2) property research in 1998, and 3) research for female farmers' conditions in 2002. These researches were conducted not only on working households in urban areas such as Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Yamagata, but also on farming households in the whole nationThe results of these researches illustrate that the gender discrepancy of land or real estate property was larger than that of financial property. It is often considered that property disparities between men and women are based on women's domestic work without pay, but the real estate discrepancy is affected by the day-to-day custom of inheritance.In farming households, there are 3 kinds of striking gender discrepancies of property ownership : agricultural land, land for housing, and house. Male farmers in the generation of management were conscious that either purchased agricultural land or the inherited land was available to dispose, while female farmers were not aware of it at all. A gender gap was remarkable in their awareness of the disposal of property.There is the discrepancy in property ownership between men and women, in particular, between husbands and wives. It is considered that women need to hold their own properties in order to bring about a gender equal society
