| Summary |
This survey (Japanese Life Course Panel Survey of the High School Graduates; JLPS-H) was initiated by Institute of Social Science, The University of Tokyo, in collaboration with the project "The Lost Decade? The starting point for this survey (Japanese Life Course Panel Survey of the High School Graduates; JLPS-H) was a joint project, "Education and the Transformation of the Labor Market" (2000-2006) (Principal Investigator: Hiroshi Ishida) of Institute of Social Science, University of Tokyo. The survey was continued independently as "An Empirical Study on the Relationship between the Employment Behavior and Attitudes of Young People and an Aging Society with Low Fertility" (2004-2006) (Principal Investigator: Hiroki Sato, Institute of Social Science, The University of Tokyo), funded by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Health, Labor, and Welfare. 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 Consciousness among Young People in Contemporary Japan" (Principal Investigator: Hiroshi Ishida). This survey aimed to investigate the effects of the aging of senior citizens on the number of children and the number of children with low fertility. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the actual conditions of the career path behavior, awareness, and values of young people, who are the working-age population amid an aging society with declining birthrates, and to clarify changes in their behavior and awareness by conducting a panel survey that could be traced. 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 12) of high school students who responded to the already published wave 1 survey (survey number PH010) 12 years after graduation. The follow-up surveys (wave 2 to wave 11) for the first, second, third, and fifth to eleventh years after graduation are also available as survey numbers PH020 to PH110, respectively. Note that since this survey is designed as a panel survey, it will continue to be conducted annually after 2015. |
