Research Projects

• Comparive study on overeducation and work attitudes in Asian societies
  Iwai Hachiro; SONOBE Kaori; SANO Kazuko
  Higher education opportunities have been very rapidly expanding in Asian societies, not corresponding to the job requirements. This study aims to clarify the attitudes toward match or mismatch between expanding higher education and job conditions, analyzing EASS 2014/15 and JGSS-2016. Since the Korean survey team could not get the research budget and the coding of China data was delayed, we could not complete the comparative study on over-education. Analyses of Japan, Taiwan and China reveal that Japanese university graduates tend to regard his or her education as less than the requirement of the job. On the other hand, Taiwanese respondents with graduate level of education tend to regard his or her education as more than the requirement of the job. It is argued that changing job conditions in Japan require flexibility of occupational skills even for university graduates, so that Japanese young university graduates are forced to feel less adequate for the job requirements., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2015/04 -2018/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Kyoto University

  The most important achievement of this project was that the National Survey of Social Stratification and Social Mobility (hereafter, SSM survey) was successfully conducted in 2015. Besides, empirical studies with this data were conducted on the structure of social stratification in contemporary Japan considering demographic transformation, that is, fertility decline and aging population. The SSM survey has been conducted every 10 years since 1955, and this was the seventh, wherein the upper limit of the age of respondents was increased from 69 to 79 and a new questionnaire was included about leaving the parental home, social status of the spouse at the first marriage, and the educational attainment of the respondents’child(ren). Based on the 2015 SSM data, the ground realities in the structure of social stratification and the mechanism involved in the emergence of social inequality were identified considering the rapid transformation in the demographic structure and in the family in Japanese society., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2013 -2018, Grant-in-Aid for Specially Promoted Research, The University of Tokyo
• Panel Survey on Education and Life Course Post "Lost Decade"

  This study conducted the follow-up survey of JGSS-2009 Life Course Survey (JGSS-2009LCS) in 2013 in order to investigate the stability and changes of occupational careers, family events and social attitudes over the four years. JGSS-2009LCS respondents were 28 to 42 years old in 2009 and 32 to 46 in 2013. The number of respondents is 718. The codebook was published in 2014. The results of analysis reveal that occupational careers of both men and women are more fluid and more fragmented in the birth cohort of 1976-80. It is also evident that non-regular female employees in 2013 are more likely to perceive their work conditions as well balanced than in 2009. In addition, improving interpersonal skills are regarded as more desirable in the near future among both men and women., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2012/04 -2015/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Kyoto University

  In this study, we carried out in 2011 the school panel survey of high school seniors in the same schools that were surveyed in 1997 and 1981. The relationships between students’ family background, their school and their career plan were examined. We also investigated the transformation of students’ social attitudes and of their feeling about school life. The relationship between family backgrounds, schools, and students’ career plan were relatively stable for 30 years. In 2011, high school seniors have become more seriously in school life with conservative attitudes to society. In addition, we carried out analysis about the influence of school and of students’ family background on the academic achievement and on career plan by using the PISA data., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2010 -2013, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Doshisha University

  We get deeper understandings of inequality-generating mechanisms by focusing on social institutions behind the status attainment process. Social processes leading to poverty, for example, differ between men and women, and the difference reflects the difference in their positions in the labor market. Another finding shows that differences in institutions in the labor market between Japan and South Korea create the difference in the way women reenter the labor market between the two countries : Most of the Japanese women reenter the labor market as non-regular workers after childbearing, while their Korean counterparts almost evenly reenter regular, non-regular, and self-employment sectors., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2008 -2010, Competitive research funding, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A), Tohoku University

  Educational attainment depends on family background deeply. In this study, we tried to clarify Japanese feature in educational attainment process by a comparative perspective. Based on PISA data sets, we analyzed influence of outside-school study efforts and of secondary school system on students' academic performance. We found that East Asian educational systems, including entrance examinations and secondary school system, characterize their educational attainment process., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2007 -2009, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Doshisha University
• A Sociological Study on Utility of Vocational Qualification in the Changing Employment Practices in Japan
  AGATA Kenji; IWATSUKI Sinya; TAKEUCHI Noriyuki
  本研究の目的は、職業資格が労働市場において果たす役割を明らかにすることにある。そのために、看護師資格取得者に対する質問紙調査を実施した。対象者を生まれ年によって三つのグループに分けて分析した結果、若いグループほど、職業に対して労働環境や労働条件を重視する人が多い傾向がみられた。さらに、現在看護師として働いている人の方が、看護師以外の仕事に就いている人よりも中断なく就業を継続している人が多いことが明らかになった。, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2006 -2008, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Doshisha University
