Establishment of the Modern Family and Its Social Background
- Modern Family
- Industrial Structure
- Demographic Structure
- The Period of Rapid Economic Growth
- Sociology
The aim of this course is to examine from the sociological point of view how a family structure called the modern family was established in Japan in the mid-20th century. The modern family refers to the nuclear family consisting of a mother, father, and their biological children, which began to emerge in Japan during the period of high economic growth in the mid-20th century and remained the mainstream family structure for more than 50 years. While considering the socio-economic characteristics of the high economic growth period, the course explains in an easy-to-understand manner, using various statistical data, that the modern family, or nuclear family was inevitably formed due to changes in industrial and demographic structures in Japan, rather than to changes in people’s attitudes.
