| 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 fifth 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 they were working as of December 2019, asking questions about such matters as the nature of their work duties, harassment, and working environment. |

| 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 - 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 results were weighted so the composition of gender, age, employment status and education reflects that of the parent population. The report shows the results after weighting (the number of responses after weighting is 57,323). |
