The proportion of the aged in the total population (reaching 13.0% in 1992) is quickly rising. The speed of increase is greater than hitherto expected. Japan is, however, far behind many of the industrialized countries of Europe and America, as regards the social security systems and other welfare facilities. On the other hand, number of so-called nuclear families is on the increase. As a regard most young people don't have chances of having intimate contact with elderly members in their own families. The present study is primarily aimed at considering the possibility on the part of children of understanding the elderly. Secondly I wanted to see what means are provided for the purpose in the everyday scenes of public education, especially in elementary schools. In children's literature, particularly since 1980's, many works have been published relating to the aging society. They frequently refer to such images as "aged", "lonesome", "bedridden", "death", etc. as well as "gentle", "calm", and "kindly" old people. In my recent study of elementary school textbooks, however, I have found very few references to the changing relationships between the old and the young. Almost all articles in these textbooks are based on the time-honored concept of the people advanced in age. In short, I must say that it would be impossible for the children using these textbooks to gain a realistic idea of the actual conditions of the elderly in today's society.
