Despite the fact that nearly one in five marriages in Japan now involves at least one formerly married spouse, very little is known about the nature of remarriages and how they differ from first marriages. One important focus of this book is to examine fertility intentions and outcomes in remarriages and to compare them with marriages in which both partners are in their first marriage. It is well known that low rates of first marriage contribute to Japan?s very low total fertility rate (TFR), but there is currently no theoretical or empirical basis for understanding how levels and patterns of remarriage are related to the TFR. To understand trends and patterns of remarriage in Japan, the book begins with an overview of the voluminous research literature on remarriage in the USA and other Western countries. This overview consists of a summary of trends and theoretical frameworks for understanding remarriage and is followed by a summary of existing research on correlates of remarriage and outcomes associated with higher-order marriages. Of particular importance is the attention paid to stepfamily fertility and the extent to which remarriage is associated with overall levels of fertility. An important contribution of this book is its presentation of basic descriptive information about levels and correlates of remarriage in Japan. These descriptive analyses are based on published data in the vital statistics reports and individual-level data from the National Fertility Surveys conducted by the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research and the National Survey of Households with Children conducted by the Japan Institute for Labour Policy and Training. 410 0$aPopulation Studies of Japan,$x2198-2732 606 $aDemography 606 $aPopulation 606 $aFertility, Human 606 $aSociology 606 $aSocial groups 606 $aPopulation and Demography 606 $aFertility 606 $aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging 615 0$aDemography. 615 0$aPopulation. 615 0$aFertility, Human. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aSocial groups. 615 14$aPopulation and Demography. 615 24$aFertility. 615 24$aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging. 676 $a304.6 700 $aRaymo$b James M$01063272 701 $aTeramoto$b Erika$01764418 701 $aYoda$b Shohei$01764419 701 $aIwasawa$b Miho$01764420 701 $aFukuda$b Setsuya$01764421 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910878990903321 996 $aThe Demography of Remarriage in Japan$94205175 997 $aUNINA
