| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines the relationship between education and occupation and its subjective evaluation, using data from several social surveys. Main results are as follows. First, we found that the association between educational credentials and occupation has been maintained in spite of rapid educational expansion and massive changes in occupational structure in Japanese society. Second, we found variation in the evaluation of the relevance of education between different academic qualifications. For example, vocational school graduates rated “useful for work” and “specialist knowledge” highly, while college graduates perceived that they gained “broader perspectives and thinking”. And the difference in student life by academic qualifications was the key for this perception. Third, social class has the multidimensional nature and not only the amount but also composition of cultural and economic capital affect the educational expectations of students and their mothers.
