Summary
Beyond the family: relationships of intimacy in contemporary Japan. In Japan the average age at first marriage is increasing, more people are remaining unmarried and overall women and men spend proportionately more of their life single. This project examines the roles that relationships outside of marriage, particularly friendships, play for Japanese women and men in light of these broad changes.
