Abstract
The aim of this paper is to clarify better conditions for women's daily lives during the period of child-rearing, because the birth of a child changes women's daily lives and their family relationships drastically.
For this purpose, the author tried at first to clarify women's daily lives during the period of raising their babies, including their consciousness, their family relationships, and their social lives. Then the author divided them into two categories, “well-being-group” and “poor-managing-group, ” to seek better circumstances and conditions for their daily lives.
Findings are as follows :
These women tend to be socially isolated, but it is good for them to have rich daily lives and social relations. It is especially important to have people to aid in rearing infants. It is very important to consider husbands' attitudes toward child-rearing, and each couple's attitude toward marital relationships.
