Overview
- Blends qualitative and quantitative methods to show how individuals’ choices to balance work and life careers unintentionally and aggregately resulted in a low-fertility trend
- Targets the 1960s cohort’s experience of the rapid changes in work conditions and social norms, which caused late marriage and postponed childbirth
- Provides a thorough reference to the social conditions of fertility decline in Japan: law and policy changes, countermeasures by companies, and changes in women’s lives
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
