Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify differences in social networks arise by such factors as residential areas (urban, agricultural and fishing), occupations and age. The survey method was mentioned in the first report.
The major findings are as follows :
1) Neighbor linkages in agricultural areas were stronger than those in other areas.
2) Kinship linkages in fishing areas were stronger than those in other areas.
3) Women who worked were less satisfied with the present state of their networks than those who didn't. However, they did not make any effort to improve it.
4) The younger were less satisfied with the present state of their networks than the older, but they did not make any effort to improve it.
It seems to be our future tasks to find out what kind of social networks the working and the younger women want and what types of social systems are needed to support them.
