abstract: 'The paper investigates the heterogeneous effect of a policy-induced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
decline in people''s mobility on the Japanese labor market outcome during
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the early COVID-19 period. Regressing individual-level labor market
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes on prefecture-level mobility changes using policy stringency
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
index as an instrument, our two-stage least squares estimator presents
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the following findings. First, the number of people absent from work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increased for all groups of individuals, but the magnitude was greater
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for workers with non-regular employment status, low-educated people,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
females especially with children, and those aged 31 to 45 years. Second,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
while work hours decreased for most groups, the magnitude was especially
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
greater for business owners without employees and those aged 31 to 45.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Third, the negative effect on unemployment was statistically significant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for older males who worked as regular workers in the previous year. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
impact was particularly considerable for those aged 60 and 65, thus
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
suggesting that they lost their re-employment opportunity due to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
COVID-19. Fourth, all these adverse effects were greater for people
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working in service and sales occupations. Fifth, a counterfactual
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
experiment of more stringent policies indicates that while an average
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
worker would lose JPY 3857 in weekly earnings by shortening their work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hours, the weekly loss for those aged 31 to 45 years and working in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
service and sales occupations would be about JPY 13,842.'
