Using Rodgers’ conceptual analysis method, this study aimed to clarify the components of the concept of the view of gender role division of labor for married couples during the transition to parenthood in Japan, and 25 references were included in the analysis. As a result, four categories of attributes, three categories of antecedents, and four categories of consequences were extracted. Thus, the view of the gender role division of labor of married couples during the transition to parenthood in Japan is defined as “The role adjustment of married couples is unclear whether it is based on gender differences or not, but it is not constant.” The definition is that “the role adjustment is not constant, but constantly changing as the couple transitions to parenthood, and as the circumstances surrounding the couple change.”
