Life course studies attempt to clarify how the pattern of the life course of some birth cohorts may have been formed and changed due to the value orientation of the society and historical events. They also deepen our understanding of some specific individual's lives by investigating the relationship between the systematized life course pattern and the individual life at certain points of time. This paper will investigate the pattern of the life course of Japanese youth (age range 15-29 years) living in Tokyo at the present time based on the concern stated above, using data from five surveys repeated every three years between 1976 and 1988. We analyzed the characteristics of the life course patterns of young men and young women separately, according to the so-called "turning points of life": graduation, employment, marriage and separation from family of orientation. Those events which people experience at turning points of life, are the normative events that young people are expected to pass through at a certain age. Therefore we found, from the five surveys that young people tend to form somewhat coincidental patterns of the life course and the life cycle. At the same time some changes were found between 1976 and 1988. For example, both young men and women were marrying later. The modal marriage age is most likely changing because of less rigid attitudes toward sex, the growing tendency to delay graduation and employment, social norms concerning marriage, etc.. Young women have delayed the time of their entering the work force as they stay longer in school, and the timing of temporary work stoppages for marriage or children. These tendencies seem to show that the life course patterns of young men and women are becoming similar, though they still differ very much at the present time.
