Research Abstract

With the rapid structural changes in economy and society, the relation between higher education and employment has been shed fresh lights as a critical issue in Japan and in other OECD countries. It is ironical that the concern has not risen from depressed labor market. In fact, the prospect of employment for college graduates has been bright in past few years. Nonetheless, it has been widely argued that what is taught in higher education appears to be losting its relevance to work.
From that perspective, this study investigated the retation between higher education and employment. Specifically, it analyzed (i) the flow of higher education graduates to the labor market ; (ii) continuing education of higher education graduates at work ; (iii) education in humanities and social sciences and employment ; and (iv) employment are career of female junior college graduates.
Through the analysis, it is concluded that (i) employment condition for graduates has gone through cyclicaL changes over the last three decades ; (ii) through the changes the relation between higher education and employment has become loosened ; and (iii) the demanded qualities for higher education graduates are shifting.
