Q. Why are families changing?
A. The reason why the family keeps changing is because people's values have
changed. In the past, there was a value to live in a large family unit. Because people in
the past had the idea that men and women should get married and have children. They also had the idea that they should support their older parents.
In recent years,
however, many people have the value of living in a nuclear family or living
alone. In the past, the family was recognized by blood. In recent years,
however, family forms have become more diverse, recognizing families not
dependent on blood, such as adoption.
Q. How much impact on the society we can
expect those trends to have?
A. I think we have had a
lot of influence in creating such a society. We receive a lot of economic
support from our parents when we are young. However, being an adult does not
support parents well. It is a serious problem of an aging society.
