摘要/Abstract

战后，随着日本女性的经济独立和受教育程度提高，其婚恋观发生了很大的变化，这些变化无不显示着日本女性社会地位的提升。在婚姻关系中，女性逐渐从过去的被动、从属性地位中解放出来，追求更加完美的婚姻生活，该变化和经济、社会的发展，日本政府的诸多举措紧密相关。然而，女性的地位提升和自我意识的觉醒也会带来一些负面影响，如不婚族的增多将加剧少子化和高龄化。同时，随着离婚率的增加，单亲家庭会逐渐增多，单亲家庭的子女成长和教育问题将成为今后的课题。

After the second World War, attitude towards marriage has experienced major changes in Japan, due to the improvement of economic independence and education of female Japanese. Japanese women focus more on pursuing ideal marriage, instead of the traditional passive and husband-subordinate relationship in their families. The improvement of social status and their self-consciousness of females also produce negative results such as increasing tendency of refusing to get married, dramatic decrease in population of the young, and aging problems. Meanwhile, issues such as high divorce rate, education of children from single families need further study.
