Abstract
When Hajnal (1982) argued that different types of household forma tion rules determine whether fertility is adjusted to economic conditions in traditional peasant societies, he deliberately ignored societies with stem family formation rules. This study examines the relationship between household formation, fertility, and family relations in such a society—eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. It sum marizes previous work on the history of the family in Japan and discusses the role life-cycle service played in adjustingfertility to economic conditions.
