Abstract

<p>Family sociologists in Japan have been paying attention to family change. There has been a remarkable family change in recent decades in Japan, namely, a rapid increase in the number of single-person households. This session focus on that change. There are many different patterns of single-person households. This session examines middle-aged single-person households. Until now, Japanese family sociologists and social epidemiologists have not focused on those who are middle-aged. This special issue has three articles on this topic. Yamada’s article examines the emotional networks in single-person households. Miwa’s article examines whether there are gender differences among single-person households. Fujimori’s article discusses demographic information on single-person households and suggests social policies for them.</p>
