地域社会における子どもの労働体験

抄録

The problem of this study is to scrutinize the effects of the release from house work on the socialization of today's Japanese children.
To clarify this problem, we formulate the theoretical framework as follows: the children's experiences in house work are taken as the intervening factor between the independent factors and the dependent ones. The independent factors are the production-labor structure in the community and the mother's educational consciousness and actions. The intervening factor in this frame is the children's actual experiences in house work and their real consciousness about it. The dependent factors are the effects of the children's experiences in house work on the developments of their life consciousness.
One of the main conclusions is that the children with low consciousness about house work and low experience in it tend to be favorable to “good-pay jobs” in their career decisions.
