Family Structure, Home Time Demands, and the Employment Patterns of Japanese Married Women
基于1990年全国调查数据，分析日本已婚女性的工资和就业模式，发现多代同堂家庭中年轻已婚女性更可能全职工作，部分原因是祖辈提供育儿支持。
A recent (1990) national survey is used in an econometric analysis of Japanese women's hourly pay and employment patterns. It confirms many results from Western industrial countries but also indicates the important influence of Japan's unique family structure, the persistence of multigenerational households, on married women's employment patterns. Younger married women are more likely to take paid employment in such households, particularly on a full-time basis, than in nuclear family households. This appears to reflect in part the child-care role played by the women's parents or parents-in-law. Copyright 1996 by University of Chicago Press.
