Marriage trends and parental coresidence in Japan are analyzed using data on 9,000 couples from the 1987 Ninth National Fertility Survey. Consideration is given to age at marriage, residence characteristics, birth order, family size, and intergenerational transfers related to birth order. The author finds that "the percentage of children coresiding with parents at marriage has hardly changed and continued to be about 30 percent...since [the] 1960s." Comments on these findings by Kiyomi Morioka, Nobuyoshi Toshitani, and Makoto Atoh are included in Japanese (pp. 71-3). (SUMMARY IN ENG)

"The aim of this paper is to study the perspectives unmarried women [in Japan] hold towards marriage, and towards their life course. This paper will also attempt to determine how changing life course perspectives among unmarried women are influencing the trend towards later marrying ages. [Data are from a] sample of 2,605 unmarried women aged 18-34 derived from the 9th National Fertility Survey conducted...in 1987....[The author finds that] while still planning to marry eventually, more women are putting off marriage. In conclusion, the increase in the proportion of unmarried women...is not so much because they have chosen the unmarried life course in order to pursue their careers, but rather merely because they are putting off marriage until later."

"The death rates at ages over 40 in Japan were analyzed using Japanese Vital Statistics for 1947-1988. Secular changes in the death rate and the age-specific death rate were analyzed according to sex and major causes of death. Twelve major causes of death were as follows: (1) malignant neoplasms, (2) heart disease, (3) cerebrovascular disease, (4) pneumonia and bronchitis, (5) accidents and adverse effects, (6) senility without mention of psychosis, (7) suicide, (8) chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, (9) nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis, (10) hypertensive disease, (11) diabetes mellitus and (12) mental disorders....
