Kazuo Nishimura, a specially appointed professor at Kobe University (Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture), and Tadashi Yagi, a professor at Doshisha University (Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture), said that the method of raising children for parents is the marriage rate of children and the number of people who want to have a family and have children. For the first time, it was empirically clarified that it had an impact.

 In this research, a Web survey conducted in January 2016 (1 by Rakuten Research Co., Ltd.) was conducted as part of the project "Basic research for building a vibrant Japanese economic society" by the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry. People's data) is used.We analyzed the relationship between the types of child-rearing that are common among Japanese parents and the results of child-rearing.

 As a result of classifying the types of child-rearing into "support type", "strict type", "acceptance type", "leaving type", and "abuse type", "support type" for both men and women is the item of income, happiness, and educational background formation. In all, it was the highest achievement.Professor Nishimura analyzes that "the most common type in Japan is the" compliant type ", which spends a lot of time with children but is not strict, but the" support type "child-rearing that encourages independence while watching with interest produces the best results."
On the other hand, in the case of the "strict type", which has a high interest in children but is severely disciplined, the income and educational background are the second highest after the "support type", but the person's sense of well-being is low. The "abuse type" had the lowest achievement of all items, and the "leaving type" tended to be close to that.

 Then, we analyze whether the type of child-rearing and the feelings toward the father / mother affect the willingness to have a family and have children in the future.The percentage of respondents who think that the ideal man is the father and the ideal woman is the mother is the highest for those who received "supportive" parenting and the lowest for those who received "abuse" parenting. became.Respondents who consider the ideal opposite sex to be a father or mother have a high marriage rate and a high number of desired children.
