Abstract: At the beginning of 2020, the global spread of CoVID19 had serious impacts on human society, and the phenomenon of “corona divorce” appears in many countries around the world.In order to relieve family pressure, Japanese government, enterprises, and social organizations have carried out different levels of governance.In terms of its root cause, “corona divorce” is the exposure of new social risks in the process of Japans transition to a “deindustrialized” society.In this process,under the influence of the subreplace ment fertility, the status of Japanese women has been improved, which has led to the transformation of the family, and profound changes have taken place in the form of family and the image of “home”. However, due to the influence of traditional labor and family concepts, the “worklife”status caused by gender differences is still unbalanced. The new social risks will intensify under the combined influence of many factors. In order to avoid risks, the actual divorce rate in Japan will not increase significantly in the short term.

Key words: corona divorce, family, social change, social policies, new social risks
