[[Projection of household conditions of the elderly in Japan]].

"The household condition of the elderly [in Japan]...was estimated for the years 1975, 1980, 1985 and 1990, and was projected for the years 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010, using the population census tabulations and the future population by age and sex projected in 1992.... The population aged 65 and over belonging to a 'couple only household' (5,905 thousand) is projected to surpass the population belonging to a 'household with their child' (4,260 thousand) in 2010 for males, while the latter will be...more (6,812 thousand) than the former (5,115 thousand) for females in the same year. The elderly population aged 65 and over in one-person households is projected to increase more remarkably for males than females." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[[Household formation of young married males in Japan: past and future]].

The author investigates reasons for changes in the rate of household formation by young married men in Japan. "We have constructed a model which explains the change in headship rate, composed with three variables: the proportion coresiding with parents..., the headship rate for the coresiding...and the headship rate for the non-coresiding..., and we have contrived a way to obtain these three variables utilizing the Census tabulations. With this analysis, while the decrease of headship rate during 1975 to 1985 had been brought about by the rise of proportion coresiding and the decline of headship rate for the coresiding, the augmentation from 1985 to 1990 was caused exclusively by the returning decrease in the proportion coresiding."

[[Coresidence with parents and marriage in modern Japan]].

Marriage trends and parental coresidence in Japan are analyzed using data on 9,000 couples from the 1987 Ninth National Fertility Survey. Consideration is given to age at marriage, residence characteristics, birth order, family size, and intergenerational transfers related to birth order. The author finds that "the percentage of children coresiding with parents at marriage has hardly changed and continued to be about 30 percent...since [the] 1960s." Comments on these findings by Kiyomi Morioka, Nobuyoshi Toshitani, and Makoto Atoh are included in Japanese (pp. 71-3). (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[[Parent-child residential relationship and migration from the viewpoint of children]].

"Facilitated by our previous macro-models, we analyzed the effects of children's characteristics on the residential relationship with parents using the data of the Second National Survey on Migration in Japan, 1986 conducted by [the] Institute of Population Problems. The characteristics studied here were children's age, birth order, marital status, sex, sib size, number of living parents, education and birth place." Comparisons are made of the age, sex, and marital status of children who leave the parental home and those who continue to reside with their parents. (SUMMARY IN ENG)
