制度的・観念的な家族概念とは異なり、「居住の共同」と「家計の共同」という二重の共同性から定義される世帯概念は、人々の共同生活実践を客観的に把握するための経済的・実体的な単位として重要な役割を果たしてきた。しかし同時に、世帯概念は家族概念と相互規定的に運用されることで、様々な共同生活実践を同居家族の範囲へと切り縮めてしまい、現代の家族をめぐる多様な状況を正しく把握することができなくなっている。そこで本稿では、世帯と家計の再検討を通じて、消費生活実態としての世帯概念の現代的な再編を試みる。具体的には、家族社会学における世帯概念の導入と展開を辿ることで、世帯が同居家族と同一視され、それ以外の共同生活実践が単なる個人の集合へ解体される過程を見ていく。他方で、家計経済学においても、理論的には特殊な「家計の家族的共同」を「家計の共同」の一般モデルと置くことで、家族以外の共同生活実践を理論的射程から外してきたことを明らかにする。これに対して、「家計の共同」を広く解釈し、世帯概念を実質的に「居住の共同」に吸収することで、同じ家に暮らす人々を遍く世帯として把握することを提案したい。このような世帯概念の再編により、さまざまな「家計の共同」の程度を把握し、家族世帯と非家族世帯の異同を議論し、また、他人一般との共同生活としての非家族世帯から、翻って家族世帯の特徴や構造的な問題を議論することが可能になる。Contrary to the concept of the family as institutional and idealistic groups, the concept of the household has been widely utilized as an objective and substantial unit from a socio-economical standpoint. However, this concept of the household was actually conceptualized cross-referentially, rather than independent of, the concept of the family, so there are difficulties in understanding the contemporary diverse situations surrounding families. This paper, by scrutinizing some important studies in family sociology and household economics, addresses how and why the concept of the household has confined the possible diversity of collective lifestyles into the family household. First, looking back at the works by Teizo TODA, Kiyomi MORIOKA and Hiroaki Shimizu, aids in the understanding of what was chosen and eliminated in conceptualizing the household. A bipolarization of the concept of the household into individual households and family households can be seen, by eliminating other collective lifestyles in the process of conceptualizing the household in relation with families. Second, household economics has long tried to focus on household accounts in order to theorize the household as substantial economic unit composed of self-interested individuals. This methodological individualism, however, seems to have compromised with familialism, in that even household economics implicitly assumes a closely shared household account like families as a general model of shared household account, which results in excluding other less closely shared household accounts. In conclusion, this paper reconstructs the concept of the household in concordance with the contemporary diverse situations surrounding families, by suggesting that the idea of “shared household account” should be expanded and thus the concept of the household should be merged into “cohabitation”. This simplified concept of the household will be successful in including various collective lifestyles first and then discussing the other features among diverse households within and without families
