| Summary |
Targeting households that were issued a "national education loan," this survey has been conducted since 1993. The main purpose of this survey was to clarify the actual state of education-related financial burdens affecting households with students, in addition to household income, housing loan status, and methods for raising funds to cover educational expenses. This survey also investigated the overall circumstances households face and the relationship between households and educational expenses. The characteristics of this survey were that it (1) targeted households nationwide, (2) targeted only households with students, (3) clarified the types of educational expenses incurred throughout the year, (4) investigates the cost of education for all children enrolled in elementary school and above, and (5) investigated educational expenses according to the number of children enrolled in school, the type of school in which they are enrolled, and whether or not they live away from home to attend school. This design allowed the survey to grasp the situation of the burden of educational expenses on households. |
