The changes of family types for the period of 15 years 1960-75 roughly covering that of rapid growth of economy were put to macro-analysis of the statistical data (chiefly Population Census data). It is essentially useful for examining the supporting type and also the human relations of old people in the homes.<BR>During the 15 years the distribution ratio by family types recorded the most drastic change which we had ever seen. In this connection the following characteristics can be pointed out.<BR>(a) While nuclear family households have rapidly increased, extended family households remain almost unchanged. The latter is said to have actually increased, when it is taken into consideration that the number of extended family households statistically comes out much smaller than the number of extended families especially in recent years.<BR>It is because economic development has caused an increase in such cases of staying away from home as being employed in a far locality, sent out on business trip, for more than 3 months, or transferred to local agencies for few years. And as result, many extended families were surveyed as two or more separated small households, though they were sharing household economy.<BR>A number of consciousness researches made it clear ideologically that either old people or children mostly would like to live in the extended families. This results in a high rate of 74.2% of the number of those 65 years old and over who are living in the relatives households (excluding households of one married couple) per total old peoples 65 years old and over.<BR>Thus nuclear family households increased to a remarkable degree with neither disorganization of extended families nor alternation of ideology. The increase was due to population of youngsters in marriageable age which was much greater in these 15 years than the population in the past. Accordingly, the increase of nuclear family households in Japan is not real nucleating pattern which is commonly perceived in U.S.A. and other countries.<BR>The rate of nuclear family households to the total relatives households has rapidly risen, but the rate apparently cannot be other than fictitious.
