<p>This paper considers changes in family relations of full-time farm households and their impacts on farm management and farm life in rural Japan, including the selection of business forms. The basic standpoint used is that of Prof. Izumi Iwamoto. Prof. Iwamoto insisted on the necessity of recognizing that contemporary Japanese farm families are an organization that consists of heterogeneous members with multiple decision-making duties. Each family member should be analyzed from the viewpoint of the roles and function each member plays within the inner structure of family farm management.</p><p>The main point of change in Japanese family relations after World War II was the disappearance of the patriarchal character. The effect of this change, at first, was on successor patterns after the 1960’s and then on female farmers after the 1990’s. The stem family form has been maintained in spite of big changes in family relations. On the other hand, participation in farm management and clarification of the roles of successors and female farmers has been promoted, with the subsequent development of the independence of successors and female farmers. As a result, such changes have contributed to the promotion of a diversification in farm management, but the selective character has become stronger in terms of the engagement in farming of successors and female farmers. Therefore, it has become more difficult to succeed to a family farm based on a stem family system. Also, declining birthrates and the growing proportion of elderly, and especially the rapid rise of singles throughout the lifespan are now big Japanese social problems. The rise singles is more conspicuous in agriculture and rural communities. It is contributing to an increased difficulty in family formation. Therefore, family farm succession based on a stem family system has begun to be faced with fundamental difficulties. Rural economic and social systems based on a rural family system also has become more difficult to maintain.</p><p>So it is necessary to try to support making family through support for marriage partner searches. At the same time, it is also necessary to establish regulations and systems for supporting partnerships among not only family members but also family members and others.</p>
