| Summary |
This survey (Japanese Life Course Panel Survey of High School Graduates; JLPS-H) was initiated by the Institute of Social Science, The University of Tokyo, in collaboration with the project "The Lost Decade: Reconsidering Japan in the 1990s" (2000-2006). The starting point for this survey (Japanese Life Course Panel Survey of High School Graduates; JLPS-H) was a joint project, "Education and the Transformation of the Labor Market" (2000-2006) (Principal Investigator: Hiroshi Ishida) of the Institute of Social Science, the University of Tokyo. Subsequently, this survey was independently continued as the "Empirical Study on the Relationship between the Employment Behavior and Attitudes of Young People and an Aging Society with Low Fertility" (2004-2006) (lead researcher: Hiroki Sato, Institute of Social Science, The University of Tokyo), a project funded by the Health, Labor and Welfare Science Research Grant to promote policy science, with waves 5 to 8 being conducted by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). Wave 9 and beyond were conducted as part of the JSPS Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (S) "Comprehensive Study on the Transformation of Behaviors and Attitudes of Young People in Contemporary Japan" (Principal investigator: Hiroshi Ishida). The purpose of this study is to grasp the actual conditions of the career path behavior, awareness, and values of young people, who will be the working-age population in an aging society with a declining birthrate, and to clarify changes in their behavior and awareness by conducting a panel survey that can track changes in their behavior and awareness. Specifically, four themes will be addressed: (1) young people's lives and attitudes while in school, (2) patterns of transition from school to the workplace, (3) employment behavior (irregular employment, changing jobs, etc.), and (4) changes in attitudes and values. With these objectives, this survey has the following two features. First, we not only survey high school students while they are in school but also follow them after graduation to comprehensively understand their higher education and employment behavior, attitudes, and values throughout their lives. Second, we aim to conduct a more rigorous international comparative study by creating survey items with international comparisons in mind at the survey design stage. This study is a follow-up survey (wave 10) of high school students who responded to the already published wave one survey (survey number PH010) 10 years after graduation. Follow-up surveys (wave 2 to wave 9) in the first, second, third, and fifth to ninth years after graduation are also available as survey numbers PH020 to PH090, respectively. Since this survey is designed as a panel survey, we are continuing the survey every year after 2013. |
