日本近代户籍法的制定与家制度的形成

The Establishment of the Japanese Census Law and the Formation of Its Household Institution over the Recent Past

二次大战前,日本家制度的形成中,户籍法起了重大作用。明治政府为达到全面控制人民的目的,在维新之初,就对户籍管理特别重视,从明治四年的户籍法到十九年的户籍法,始终在修改和完善,而户籍法的实行不仅为明治维新各项改革的展开奠定了基础,同时也促进了近代日本家制度的形成。

Before the end of World War II, the Japanese census law had played an important role in the formation of its household institution. Early in the beginning of Meiji Restoration, the Meiji government attached great importance to the administration of census which helped effectively with its control of the people. This orientation had been overwhelming in both the census law established in the fourth year of Meiji reign and that in the nineteenth year of Meiji reign. The census law had paved the way for Meiji Restoration and promoted the establishment of the Japanese household institution over the recent past.
