変わりゆく家族にどう対処するか

抄録

Firstly, this work examines of the '80s and the present problems of the Japanese family. How has the family been affected by the tremendous economic and social changes brought by rapid economic growth, and the structural recession that followed it? We will find the affluence is barely skin-deep. We pay attention to the working hours, housing, and so on. Creative plans are needed. There is no place for the elderly in Japan. The birty rate is decreasing and the strain on children is inc reasing. We also must consider changes in the configuration of the family. We notice diversity in the configuration. At the same time, We find icreasing self-reliance of members in the family, especially in the wife.
Secondly, this work examines how family sociology copes with the Japanese family in transition. We have to confront the problem of the Japanese family acccurately. We have to verify the quality of life. We have to propose a scheme for new policies of qovernment. We have to appreciate the signs of diversity and self-reliance in the family.
