| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research explores to what extent the reward inequality among workers is accepted as an appropriate gap and how it is legitimized in Japan by analyzing the data collected from a cross-national vignette survey on the just income of fictitious workers. The findings show that reward gaps according to gender and type of employment are accepted by Japanese and South Korean respondents, while this is not the case in the United States. Furthermore, female and non-regular Japanese respondents even consider that the reward gap should be larger against their interests. This acceptance and over-acceptance of the reward gap can be partly explained by the difference in the assumption toward the categories of workers generated by the institutional conditions of Japanese society.
