1 House 1 Child focuses on low birthrate as a countermeasure for each household to cope with aging, not self-birth, as the cause of advancing the aging society.

1 House 1 Child examines the family composition and property situation of married households nationwide who currently have children or are likely to have children by claiming that each household should plan for as many houses as the number of houses it owns. This reveals the structural aspects of an aging society with low birth rates and depicts a kind of deadlock created by the first urban nuclear family consisting of the baby boomers and their children, the echo-generation born between 1977 and 1997. This is a balance between baby boomers’ family planning for their children’s future and echo-generation family planning for their parents’ retirement.
