地域社会における家庭生活の流動化と子ども

抄録

From the middle of the 1950's, the process of rapid economical growth has brought great changes on the background of child socialization. In this paper, we investigate the two items (1) the change of the relation between community and family life and (2) the change of family type and family life.
The isolation of family in the community is one of the current problems, but this seems transitional. We should, therefore, pay attention to the new relationship between the community and family life. Moreover, there are tendencies that the family size becomes smaller because of the declining birth rate and the increasing number of nuclear families and that the number of workingparents' families is increasing. It also becomes difficult to transmit and create the children culture because of the change of peer groups, especially, the lack of multi-age groups. In terms of the relation between mother and child, their close relationship is usually strengthened and it prevents the independence of the child. In the working parents' family, however, the unstable mental conditions of both mother and child are often found out. This does not mean that the relation between moth er and child always depends on quantity of mother's contact with child. Rather, mother's consciousness about family has a great influence on the child. It has some relation to the views of man and woman and role differentiation in contemporary family. Therefore we should pay attention to the changes of role and consciousness in a working parents' family.
The employment of women is increased by social demands, but its problems are solved by individuals. This causes the difficulties in a working parents' family. Under this condition the problem about children will become more serious.
However, there is the new trend that the mother-and-mother and family-andfamily relationships in the community is developed through these children problems.
