Özet:

 

This paper tests the effect of living arrangement on the probability of mothers’ employment
status in Japan using micro-data from a household survey. The analysis was conducted for
grandmothers by focusing on distinguishing between grandmother and in-law. The father being
the eldest son and the mother being the eldest daughter are used as instruments in bivariate
probit models. The findings show that co-residing or proximate-residing grandmother (-in-law)
increases the probability of mothers being in employment. That being said, Japanese mothers
still need to get help from grandmothers to work. Other important findings indicate that
mothers whose husbands are the eldest son tend to live with grandmother-in-law. This confirms
that the Japanese norm still stands in modern Japan.
