| Summary | The fundamental social systems in the Japanese society, such as continuous economic growth, stable employment and substantial welfare, are collapsing. People have designed their lives based on a monolithic model, which was created by taking the traditional and stable social systems for granted. Faced with the changes in the social systems, traditional life design, however, has been pressed to be re-constructed. One can assume that the future society would be a "frontier society" where those who have the motivation to curve a way for themselves be successful. By assuming the coming of this new society, this survey aims to discover changes in people's lives and their consciousness. This survey is designed to chronologically grasp some aspects of people's lives and their consciousness. Research has been conducted twice (in 1995 and 1997), and this is the third research. Characteristics of this survey can been seen in survey items such as family life, community design, work life, consumption life, silver life, risk management in life. |
