本論文の目的は,8年前の研究との比較考察によって,国府の隠居慣行の推移の内容とその社会的・経済的諸条件の解明を目ざすものである。同屋敷内別棟で別食・別財の様式を順守する家族別居の隠居慣行は,伝統的隠居複世帯制を維持しながら隠居分家による家産の分散をさけ,家的統一を確保して行く唯一の方法であった。この慣行は,この村特有の耕地条件を基盤として成立していたもので,当時の社会システムのなかで重要な機能を果たしていた。近年この慣行を支えていた地域社会の諸条件が変化しつつあるなかで,古い慣行が衰退消滅して行くどころか,むしろ一層拡大発展の傾向さえ見える。しかし慣行の形式的側面での発展にもかかわらず,内容的側面では,社会的経済的諸条件の変化に対応してかなり変容しつつある。本稿においてこの変化の内容とその条件を詳細に究明しようとした。This article is an attempt to show how has the retirement system changed at Kou-mura, Ago-cho, Mie Prefecture, in comparison with the previous study reported in the 'Shakaigaku Hyoron' (Japanese Sociological Review) in 1959. In this village, 4 or 5 years after the heir's marriage, the parents used to transfer the formal headship of the family to the heir and to live a retired life in another house in the same site, but they continued to earn their own living, keeping the informal prestige in their extended family including two households, and holding the public office in the local community in case they have one. This retirement system, grounded on the special agricultural conditions of this village, has been functioning effectively in separating the parents' retired hause from their original house and at the same time in integrating the two households into one. The socio-economic backgrounds of this village, which have been the necessary conditions for this custom, have remarkably changed in recent years, and yet this system has not become obsolete, but it is growing more general than in former years. Yet despite the growth of this retirement system in the formal and quantitative aspect, there are also many variations in its substantial and qualitative aspect in accordance with the change of the circumstances. As for the details of the change of this system, I shall discuss them in a paper to be published later.
