| Summary | The household's expense for children's education, such as school entrance fees and tuition, is increasing year by year. It is even said that the money needed for children's education is amounting to the level where a family can no longer feel affluent, however, the reality of the burden of educational expenses on a household has not been well-investigated. This survey of households using government's educational loan programs was conducted to find out the reality of the issue. The primary objective of the survey is to capture the financial burden of households with school attendants. It investigates, however, not only such households' educational expenses but income, savings, housing loans, and ways of financing children's education in order to reveal an entire picture of the household finance and its relation with the educational expenses. The survey is characterized by (1) covering the entire nation, (2) being directed only to those households with school attendants, (3) capturing educational expenses throughout a year, (4) investigating all the educational expenses for elementary school children and above, and (5) analyzing the financial burden by number of children, type of school, and residential arrangements. |
