abstract: 'Are all Japanese youth ready for the structural reforms proposed as a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
supply-side policy of Abenomics? To answer this question, we assess how
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
well Japanese youth have coped with the labor market''s long-term
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
structural changes, induced primarily by deepening interdependence with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
emerging economies and rapid technological progress over the last three
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
decades. We examine the role of educational upgrading on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor-market outcomes of youth between the ages of 25 and 29, using six
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
waves of micro data from the Employment Status Survey spanning from 1982
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to 2007. The analysis demonstrates that the demand growth for skilled
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor relative to unskilled labor has been met by the educational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
upgrading of youth through the expansion of tertiary education,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
including education in vocational schools. Youth left behind the trend
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of educational upgrading, however, have suffered significantly from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
decreasing employment opportunities and deteriorated working conditions.
