| Summary |
The Japanese Panel Study of Employment Dynamics (JPSED) involves an annual survey of individual work patterns, incomes, and occupations in the previous year, with results to be tracked from year to year. Data from the survey will be used to create and publish the Works Index* as well as to grasp changes in the dynamics of employment and income in Japan. The present study constitutes the second JPSED survey. (For details, please refer to the official JPSED website: http://www.works-i.com/surveys/panel-surveys.html) Works Index composition The Works Index was created to provide a benchmark of the ideal conditions in which individuals can work actively on an ongoing basis. Following discussion within the Recruit Works Institute, the following five essential indices were formulated. I. Security II. Self-living III. Work Life Balance (WLB) IV. Development V. Decent work (DW) Components known as indicators (see below) are assigned to each index, with points calculated on a scale from 0 to 100 for each index based on survey results related to each indicator. A score of 100 represents the ideal stat Indices and Indicators in the Works Index I. Security Indicators: - Working, or possessing the will to work even if not working - Enrolled in unemployment insurance or receiving benefits therefrom - Short duration of out-of-work periods (working in every month of 2016) - Short duration of out-of-work periods (periods out of work for job changers/new appointees) - High prospect of ongoing employment - Never left work on employer’s request II. Self living (economic) Indicators: - Own work income sufficient to meet own living needs - Small variance between actual income and average self-living income III. Work Life Balance (continuity) Indicators: - Little or no overtime work - Ability to take leave from work - No obligation to resign due to childbirth/parenting or care duties - High degree of freedom in working hours and location IV. Development (education and training) Indicators: - Responsibility for high-difficulty, diverse tasks - Opportunities for OJT - Opportunities for Off-JT - Engagement in self-study (self-development) V. Decent Work (DW) Indicators: - Appropriate work volume and burden - Workplace is free from discrimination - Workplace is free from harassment - Organizations and methods exist to guarantee workers’ rights - Safe workplace and healthy workers |

Sample was distributed by gender, age group, work status, regional block, and educational history, based on data in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications’ Labour Force Survey. The distribution was made to reflect the profile of the universe, but a smaller sample was taken from the non-labor force population aged 15-19 and the 65 and over age group. The actual categories used are shown below. - Gender: man/woman - Age: 15-19/20-24/25-34/35-44/45-54/55-64/65-69/70 and older - Employment status: labor force population/non-labor force population - Form of employment: self-employed/family work/executive/regular/non-regular/fully unemployed - Education: Below university graduate/university graduate or above/currently enrolled - Place of residence – 11 areas: Hokkaido, Tohoku, Southern Kanto, Northern Kanto/Koshin, Hokuriku, Tokai, Kinki, Chugoku, Shikoku, Kyushu, Okinawa The number of samples collected in the non-labor force age group of 15-19 and the age group of 65 and over were smaller than the actual populations of these categories, so weightings were added to ensure that the results reflected the overall population profile (gender x age x work status x education; the number of responses after weighting was 48,681). The report shows the results after weighting and not including students with no experience of working after graduation (pre-weighting figure is shown for overall number of responses solicited). |
