Reviewing existing research studies, this paper considers the characteristic patterns of gender relations among “post-adolescents, ” who are at the stage between adolescence (students) and adulthood, and its consequence on changes in the gender relations of Japanese society as a whole.<BR>Along with many other industrialized societies, Japanese society is characterized by a male dominant structure in terms of socio-economic status and the male-breadwinner pattern at home. The life structure of post-adolescents corresponds to the gender patterns of society. Post-adolescent men have a relative advantage over women in the same age group in terms of socio-economic status. A considerable percentage of both men and women find the male -breadwinner marriage pattern desirable. Despite their relative disadvantage in terms of socio-economic status, the satisfaction level of post-adolescent women is higher than men among all age groups.<BR>It has become more difficult to maintain an “affluent” life with a singleincome family due to the slowdown of economic growth and the deterioration of employment conditions. In order to avoid a slide in living standards, postadolesent people tend to continue to depend on their parents for living costs and domestic services, rather than forming egalitarian couples and sharing the responsibility of earnings and housework. This tendency is believed to be behind the tendency for late marriage and the prolongation of post-adolescence.<BR>In the long run, this tendency might prompt a diversification of household and gender relations and lead to a change in the gender order of society. Taking account the types of people who have the most power in society, however, it would be difficult to subvert the status of the “male-breadwinner” model as a cultural ideal and the structure of male-dominant gender relations.<BR>To further develop this research field, it will be important to focus on romantic love, “multi-layer” gender relations and the subjective worlds of post- adolescent men and women.
