| Summary |
The nationwide survey on social stratification and social mobility, also known as the SSM Survey, is one of the most traditional large-scale social surveys in Japan, and it has been carried out every ten years since the first survey in 1955 (by The Japan Sociological Society). This 1995 survey is the fifth, and it was conducted by the SSM Survey Research Group of 1995. The survey consists of three parts: main survey A consisting of survey items centered on career, main survey B consisting of items centered on consciousness, and the prestige survey consisting of items centered on occupational prestige. The data provided by the SSJ data archive are those of main survey A and B. |
