This paper clarifies how families cope with the unemployment of the husband. The following things have become clear as a result of the annual Japanese Panel Survey of Consumers carried out on a nationwide scale since 1993. (1) There is a relationship between the socioeconomic status of the husband and unemployment. (2) The husband’s income decreases as a result of unemployment, but there is no major change in the monthly expenditure on living costs. There is less leeway in the household budget, so the family copes by reducing the amount put aside as savings each month, or by reaching into its savings. (3) There are wives who get a job outside the home or increase their working hours, but the amount of time that the husband spends on housework or childcare does not increase a great deal. There is no major change in the division of labor by gender role between husband and wife as a result of the husband’s unemployment. Family life is, maintained in the short term with the wife shouldering the burden of paid employment, housework and childcare, but in the long term there is a possibility that it can lead to conflict between husband and wife.
