Overview

A study of well-being and care within the evolving Japanese family context, with a focus on the men who care for older family members. Moving beyond the predominant focus on men in the workplace, Men, Care and Well-being in Super-aged Japan offers an innovative perspective on men's well-being through their involvement in caring for older family members. Focusing on super-aged Japanese society, the book provides a valuable way to understand key social challenges relevant to countries on the cusp of an aging society. The book traces a shift away from the traditional family structures, highlighting how this transformation has reshaped men's roles within the family, and the increasingly important role of sons-in-law in extended family relations.
