Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine the view of women's life course, especially in their occupational careers.

Data from 662 female university students in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture was collected. The findings are as follows:
(1) The students grew up modeling themselves on their parents.
(2) The student's ideal image of a women's life course is related to that of the parent's expectations of their daughter.
