Aspects of household migration, as distinct from individual migration, in Japan are discussed using data from the 1980 census and the 1978 and 1983 housing surveys. The author compares household residential mobility with that of individuals and of the population as a whole. The results show greater residential mobility the smaller the household size and an overall decline in household residential mobility in recent years. Evidence also indicates that nearly half of the households moved in order to find new housing. (SUMMARY IN JPN)
