Description

Japan: The Childless Society examines the profound shift in Japanese women's attitudes towards motherhood and family formation. This Routledge publication investigates why Japanese women are marrying later and having fewer children, driven by disillusionment with domestic isolation and pressure from older generations. The book analyses the cultural expectations placed on mothers, including the rigid 'Ten Commandments of the Good Mother', alongside evolving paternal roles, educational and career aspirations, and generational nostalgia. Drawing on extensive interviews, the author explores how these intersecting social and cultural factors create maternal malaise in contemporary Japan. Essential reading for understanding demographic trends, gender roles, and family dynamics in modern Japanese society, this work combines sociological insight with personal narratives to address one of Japan's most pressing social challenges.
