those in the latter half of the 20s to the latter half of the 30s. This is due to high share of females citing “better environment for child-rearing.” Among respondents in the latter half of their 40s to the first half of their 50s, “other reasons” accounts for the second highest percentage after “housing-related reasons,” but specific reasons are unclear. Note that the percentages of “other reasons” for females aged 75 and up are higher relative to other age groups. This is because many in the older age moved for “health reasons.”

## (3) Comparison with the Previous Survey

Table IV-4 shows the results of the previous survey. Compared with the previous survey, the following four features can be noted for males: (1) The percentage of respondents aged 15 to 19 choosing “to attend school” increased; (2) the percentage of respondents in their 20s to the first half of their 30s choosing “housing-related reasons” increased while the percentage of respondents in the latter half of their 20s to the first half of their 30s choosing “change in marital status” decreased; (3) migration for “work-related reasons” increased
