Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the realities and consciousness of the use of childrearing services, and to analyze the factors involved in their use. The subjects of investigation were working and non-working mothers having infants or children under school age. The results obtained were as follows : 1. The intention of homemaking was obvious, and Japanese emotional care was recognized. 2. The cooperation of their husbands was remarkable in the care of their children. According to this tendency, the necessity for boys to study childrearing was proved. 3. Both working mothers dependent on the services and non-working ones independent on them must use the services more positively, and must be educated to select acocrding to their respective needs.
