| Research Abstract |
Our research results are summarized around four sub-topics in our projects. They are as follows;
A) NPO labor market
We conducted a survey about the about management practices of more than one thousand Japanese NPO as well as individual worker survey for those working at those NPOs. We presented the findings from those surveys at Japan NPO Research Association Meeting in 2000 and 2001. We have published an article at Graduate School of Policy and Management Review and are preparing a monograph publication.
B) Employment adjustment
We analyzed employment adjustment of large Japanese firms in five industries. Our particular attention was on the impact of increasing non-regular employment such as part-time workers on the speed of employment adjustment. We found it reduced the speed. We have published three articles already and two more are forthcoming.
C) Male-female wage differentials
We analyzed male-female wage differentials by applying three alternative hypotheses. We found each of them has some relevance, but the Nenko hypothesis found most relevant. We have published two articles on this and another is forthcoming.
D) Recurrent Education
We analyzed the needs of recurrent education by a company survey.
