The Crisis of Motherhood By: Muriel Jolivet Publisher: Routledge Print ISBN: 9780415146463, 0415146461 eText ISBN: 9781134757152, 1134757158 Edition: 1st Pages: 256 Copyright year: 1997 Format: EPUB Available from $ 29.58 USD SKU 9781134757152R90 Disillusioned by long hours at home alone and by demands from the older generation, Japanese women are marrying later, resulting in a sharp decline in the Japanese birth rate. Muriel Jolivet considers the reasons why Japanese women are finding it increasingly difficult to accept the terms and conditions of motherhood. Japan: The Childless Society explores the major factors contributing to maternal malaise in Japan including: * the 'Ten Commandments of the Good Mother' * the changing role of the father * education and careers * nostalgia from older generations Drawing on extensive interviews with Japanese women and translated into English for the first time, this innovative study examines the implications behind the declining birth rate and looks towards the future of a country that is in danger of becoming a 'childless society'.
