Abstract
It is the purpose of this study to clarify the relation of the middle age and elderly parent's and childen housing, their record of former housing and their desired housing situation. The result are as follows : 1) Households in rented dwellings from private owners have the tendency to be non-occupation, low-income and single. 2) Many of them have no child. And in the case of children, they don't live with them. They live near their parents. There is a difference where the children live according to housing strata. 3) The middle age and elderly in privately operated housing desire to live at next-door to their children, but in rented dwellings from private owners, they desire to live by themselves regardless of their children. 4) Housing strate of the children is identical with their parents. This shows that the identity of housing strata in parent and child is continuous and fixed. 5) Record of former housing is different according to housing strata. Specifically, the record of residents of publicly operated housing is constant, but residents of privately operated housing often change of their addresses.
