A Demonstrative Study on Change of Modern Family and Diversification of Family Lifestyle

在这一研究中，我有一个目的来研究日本现代家庭的变化，重点关注家庭生活方式的多样性随着当代变化的到来，即出生率的下降、长寿率的增加和信息社会的进展。特别地，在一个催眠模式下，一个家庭将成为一个生活方式，即个人的主观选择的对象，谁将自己作为他们是。然后，我发现了家庭的未来趋势和这种趋势的问题。在那之后，我试着就未来的家庭福利提出一些建议。在1997年，我试着对婚姻夫妇、有抚养子女的母亲以及照顾年迈父母的家庭进行一些采访研究。On the findings of the these researches， I presented at the 49 y D1th y D1 conference of Kansai， Sociological Association and the 71 y D1st y D1 conference of Japanese Sociological Association。在这些演讲中，我描述了日本的当代家庭已经成为一个生活方式的人。1998年，许多听众向我们展示了深刻的兴趣，基于这些发现，我将调查研究作为定量研究。这是一项关于2000年居民的研究（从35岁到64岁不等）生活在城市地区的研究（神户市、Nishinomiya市、Ashiya市和Takarazuka市的Higashinada-ku）。在今年（1999年），我试图综合分析定性研究和定量研究的两个方面。由于这些准确的发现，我发表了一份报告，即关于现代家庭变化和家庭生活方式多样性的示范研究成果的报告。

In this study, I have had a purpose to research demonstratively on the change of modern family in Japan, focusing on the diversification of the family lifestyle which is coming out with the contemporary change, that is, decreasing of the birth rate, increasing of the longevity rate, and advancing of information society. Especially under a hypothesis that the family is becoming to be a lifestyle as object of subjective choice for individuals who pursue themselves as they are. And then, I studied the future trend of family and the issues with that trend. After that, I tried to make some proposals on family welfare in the future.In 1997, I tried to make some interview researches to the marital couples, the mothers with dependent children, and families caring the aged parent. On the findings of the these researches, I presented at the 49ィイD1thィエD1 conference of Kansai, Sociological Association and the 71ィイD1stィエD1 conference of Japanese Sociological Association. At these presentations, I emphasized that contemporary family in Japan has become one as a lifestyle. Many audiences showed us deep interests.In 1998, based on these findings, I tried a survey research as quantitative study. This is a research on 2000 residents (from 35 years old to 64 years old) who live in the urban area (Higashinada-ku in Kobe city, Nishinomiya city, Ashiya city, and Takarazuka city).In this year (1999), I tried to analyze synthetically both of the qualitative research and the quantitative research. As these precise findings, I published a report as A Report on the Outcome of a Demonstrative Study on Change of Modern Family and Diversification of Family Lifestyle.
