National Survey of Family Change in post-War Japanese

虽然战后日本社会的家庭变化是理所当然的，但我们很少对变化的机制进行社会学的讨论。我们希望我们的研究能对这样的讨论有所帮助。该调查是日本家庭社会学会1998年进行的“全国家庭调查”（NFRJ98）的补充。对家庭事业与家庭事件的回顾性调查数据进行队列比较分析。调查设计：从1920年至1969年出生的女性（截至2002年1月，年龄从32岁到81岁）中抽取概率样本。2. 实地调查：由研究助理发放结构化问卷，由举报人自行填写，并由研究助理收集。收集有效样本3475份。数据库比对：数据清洗后，设计数据库，用SPSS软件进行处理。4. 分析与发现：通过对家庭事业、家庭事件、职业生涯和护理经历的队列比较，研究结果提出了一个假设，即战后日本社会的家庭变化不是一个走向“现代化”/“西方化”的线性过程。验证假设和发展这项研究是留给我们的任务。5. 报告：初步结果以简单的表格编制。进一步的分析报告将在2003年9月的日本家庭社会学会年会上宣读。6. 数据披露：规划数据库披露，完成必要的数据清理。

Though family change in post-War Japanese society is taken for granted, we have few sociological discussion on the mechanism of change. We hope our research would be an asset for such discussion. The survey was planned to supplement National Family Research (NFRJ98) conducted by Japan Society for Family Sociology in 1998. Data from retrospective survey on family career and family event was analyzed through cohort comparison.1. Survey Design: Probabilistic samples were extracted from women born between 1920 and 1969 (aged from 32 to 81 as of January 2002). 2. Field Survey: Structured questionnaires were distributed by research assistants, left to be filled in by informants themselves and collected by research assistants. Effective sample of 3475 were collected.3. Data-base Comparison: After data cleaning, data-base was designed to be processed by SPSS. 4. Analysis and Findings: Findings from cohort comparison of family career, family event, occupational career, and care experience propose a hypothesis that family change in post-War Japanese society is not an unilinear process toward "modernization"/"westernization". Verification of the hypothesis and development of this research is the task left for us. 5. Report: Preliminary result with simple tabulation is prepared. Report of further analyses will be read at the annual meeting of Japan Society of Family Sociology in September 2003. 6. Disclosure of Data: Data-base is planned to be disclosed, finishing necessary data cleaning.
