| 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 fourth JPSED survey. (For details, please refer to the official JPSED website: http://www.works-i.com/surveys/panel-surveys.html) As part of the present study, a supplementary survey was conducted for respondents who stated their ages to be between 50 and 69, asking questions about work from the age of 50 onwards, and matters relating to the respondents themselves and their families. |

| Sampling Procedure |
Non-probability: Quota
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 the labor force population under 19 and 65 to 69 years old, and those aged 70 and over were allocated lower than the actual numbers. The actual categories used are shown below. - Gender: man/woman - Age: 15-19/20-24/25-34/35-44/45-54/55-64/65-69/70-74/75 and older - Work status: labor force population/non-labor force population - Work patterns: self-employed/family work/executive/regular/non-regular/fully unemployed - Education: Below university/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 responses collected in the non-labor force age groups of 15-19 and 65-69, and the age group of 70 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 report shows the results after weighting (The number of responses collected is the weighted figure). |
