Summary The Japanese Panel Study of Employment Dynamics (JPSED) is an annual follow-up survey of the employment status, income, and work conditions of individuals during the year prior to the survey. The purpose of the survey is to compile and publish the Works Index and to grasp changes in employment status and income in Japan. This survey was conducted as the sixth survey. (See also the official website of JPSED. https://www.works-i.com/surveys/panel-surveys.html )
Data Type quantitative research: micro data

Beginning with the 2018 survey, there are three types of respondents: continuing sample (respondents from last year), additional sample (new respondents from this year), and resurrected sample (respondents from surveys before 2019 who did not respond to the 2020 survey).
Continuation sample: 45,192 (number of questionnaires sent: 55,232, response rate: 81.8%)

Spatial Unit Japan
Sampling Procedure Non-probability: Quota
The data from the "Labor Force Survey" of the Statistics Bureau of Japan were used to make allocations by gender, age, class strata, employment status, regional block, and educational background. The allocation was set to reflect the population. However, the non-working population of teenagers and those aged 70 and over were allocated in smaller numbers than in actual numbers. Specifically, the allocation was as follows.

Gender: male /female
Age: 15-19/ 20-24/ 25-34/ 35-44/ 45-54/ 55-64/ 65-69/ 70-74/ 75 and over
Employment: working population /non-working population
Employment status: self-employed workers /family employees /officers/full-time/non-full-time /unemployed
Education: less than a college graduate /more than a college graduate /currently enrolled in school
Residence: 11 areas: Hokkaido /Tohoku /South Kanto /North Kanto and Koshin /Hokuriku /Tokai /Kinki /Chugoku /Shikoku /Kyushu /Okinawa

Weighting is done so that the composition of gender, age, employment status and education reflects the population.

The report includes the results after weighting. After weighting, the number of persons served was 56,229.
