[[The study of socio-demographic behavior relevant to "Hinoe-uma" in 1966]].
Aspects of the fall in the number of births occurring in Japan in 1966 are explored. "The studies of 'Hinoe-uma' seem to have lacked...three perspectives; (1) the scope of demographic influence of 'Hinoe-uma', (2) demographic characteristics from the viewpoint of children who were born in the year 'Hinoe-uma', (3) socio-demographic influence of 'Hinoe-uma'.  So we explored the various data regarding the three points in 1966 'Hinoe-uma'.... We confirmed by macro data that both Koreans and Chinese in Japan, Japanese in foreign countries and parents who had [an] illegitimate child in 'Hinoe-uma' were also influenced by superstitions [about] 'Hinoe-uma'."
