| Summary |
In today's society, educational background is a significant factor in considering disparities and inequalities. However, surveys of most adults do not provide detailed information on career choices. A national survey of high school students and their mothers has pointed out the need to examine the mechanism of high school choice in order to clarify the mechanism that generates disparities in educational expectations, but it has not been sufficiently clarified. Therefore, this study (1) conducted a two-point panel survey capturing students' educational expectations, school life, and family socioeconomic status from the third year of junior high school to the second year of high school to construct a panel data set, and (2) focused on changes in image, high school influence, and socioeconomic status and their mutual influence relationships. A causal analysis was conducted to identify the mechanisms by which socioeconomic disparities in educational expectations emerge. This survey is positioned as one of the projects for the Japanese Life Course of Panel Surveys (JLPS). In addition to the JLPS, there are also the Young Adult Panel Survey (JLPS-Y), the Mature Adult Panel Survey (JLPS-M), and the High School Graduate Panel Survey (JLPS-H). This survey is related to Wave 1 of the "Panel Survey of Middle School Students and Their Mothers (JLPS-Y). |

We obtained the population of third-year junior high school students by prefecture (total of 1,078,028) from the "Preliminary Report on the 2015 Basic School Survey" and calculated the allocation ratio for each prefecture. The planned sample size was 1,600, from which we calculated the sample size allocated to each prefecture. In addition, from the "2014 Basic Resident Registration Population by Age Group (by Municipality)," the population aged 10-14 was used to create three categories: "wards," "cities (6,000 or more)," and "cities (less than 6,000) and towns/villages". The percentage of each of the three categories was determined for each prefecture, and the assigned sample size was determined for each category for each prefecture. The combination of prefectures (47) and population size (3) resulted in a total of 109 sites. The sample size for some prefectures is not 141 points because they do not have a "ward" or "city (6,000 or more)" category. Half of the total population was allocated to men and women, and the survey panels owned by Isops were used as the frame population. |
