| Summary |
The structural changes in the labor market, the rapid aging of society with a declining birthrate, and the advance of globalization have brought about significant changes in the nature of employment, marriage, family, education, attitudes, and lifestyles in Japanese society. In considering the direction in which Japanese society will move in the future, it is essential to clarify the causes of the changes that are currently occurring or to clarify which aspects of Japanese society have changed and which have not. The Institute of Social Science, the University of Tokyo Panel Survey Project aims to empirically clarify these issues by using panel (follow-up) survey methods. For this purpose, the Institute of Social Science, the University of Tokyo is conducting four panel surveys: the Japanese Life Course Panel Survey (JLPS), the Young Panel Survey (JLPS-Y), the Middle-aged Panel Survey (JLPS-M), the High School Graduate Panel Survey ( JLPS-H), and the Junior High School Parent and Child Panel Survey (JLPS-J). The JLPS-Y and JLPS-M, which began in January 2007, are among the few large-scale panel surveys in Japan that include comprehensive questions on occupation, family, education, attitudes (including political attitudes), and health. In addition, the occupation items are very detailed, asking questions that conform to the social strata and the National Survey on Social Mobility (SSM survey). Thus, the JLPS is not only designed to allow for international comparative analysis, drawing on the rich experience of panel surveys, especially in the U.K. and the U.S., but also draws on survey items from existing Japanese surveys (including cross-sectional ones). The JLPS-Y targets so-called "young generation" aged 20 to 34 as of the end of December 2006, while the JLPS-M targets "middle-aged generation" aged 35 to 40. The questions in both surveys are identical. The surveys included here are the Japanese Life Course Panel Surveys of the Middle-aged; JLPS-M wave 1 through wave 11, which were conducted from 2007 to 2017. The survey will be conducted annually after that. The "Youth Panel Survey" conducted during the same period in 2017 is included in SSJDA Survey No. PY110. For the " the Middle-aged Survey (waves 1-10)" conducted from 2007 to 2016, see the following respectively. PM010 PM020 PM030 PM040 PM050 PM060 PM070 PM080 PM090 PM100 In addition, from 2011, a new cohort of subjects of the same age as those in the ongoing survey (aged 39-44 in 2011) has been added, taking into account the problem of respondents dropping out of the survey due to long-term tracking. The continuous survey data from 2007 is PM110, and the additional survey data from 2011 is PM110_add2.
