Thesis (Ph.D.)--Michigan State University, 2008.

Intergenerational mutual care in Japan developed in the context of various factors, including cultural ideals, centralization of the civil state, and the family unit called the ie. Prior to the Meiji period, there were regional and class diversity in family life and no cultural ideal for women to take care of the dependent elderly. However, many scholars start with this patriarchal ie system (the system of primogeniture legally recognized in the Meiji Civil Code in 1898) as the benchmark against which to gauge the continuity, uniqueness, and change of eldercare during the twentieth century. This has resulted in many scholars assuming that the cultural underpinnings of the ie defined the care of 'frail elderly' as 'women's work' undertaken to preserve 'women's morality.' Since care has been pessimistically perceived as a caregiver's obligation, the elderly have too often been stereotyped as frail and dependent.

520 $a Intergenerational mutual care in Japan developed in the context of various factors, including cultural ideals, centralization of the civil state, and the family unit called the ie. Prior to the Meiji period, there were regional and class diversity in family life and no cultural ideal for women to take care of the dependent elderly. However, many scholars start with this patriarchal ie system (the system of primogeniture legally recognized in the Meiji Civil Code in 1898) as the benchmark against which to gauge the continuity, uniqueness, and change of eldercare during the twentieth century. This has resulted in many scholars assuming that the cultural underpinnings of the ie defined the care of 'frail elderly' as 'women's work' undertaken to preserve 'women's morality.' Since care has been pessimistically perceived as a caregiver's obligation, the elderly have too often been stereotyped as frail and dependent.
520 $a Owing to longevity and reduced disability among the elderly after the Second World War, more elderly have challenged these stereotypes. Now perhaps Social Gerontologists should start to view the Japanese elderly as proactively choosing their opportunities to care and be cared for by important people beyond the family. This new view has broadened studies of aging beyond just the maintenance of physical and mental vitality to the social integration of older people with family, friends, and communities.
520 $a In examining the relationship between social integration and the well-being of the elderly, previous studies supported the role-enhancement perspective. For the elderly who went through various life events, holding diverse roles is more likely to benefit their well-being through enhancing individual resources and social connections.
520 $a The current study examines the importance of social integration on the well-being of the Japanese elderly using two waves of the Nihon University Japanese Longitudinal Survey of Aging. The findings support the role-enhancement perspective. Especially, residence showed complex effects. The rural elderly had greater odds than the urban elderly of having a disability. However, the rural elderly had lower odds than their urban peers of feeling depressed. The advantage of ruralites over urbanites in escaping from depression may arise from a greater integration of rural people into social networks of mutual care.
