We found that, although the major Japanese white-collar workers tended to be internally promoted to the middle management in one company's internal labor market before 1980, however their career development patterns have become diversified and boundary-less for these twenty years. We examined this trend theoretically, historically, comparatively and quantitatively.

Finally, Wakabayashi and Akinaga found that the career pattern of the Japanese white-collar workers have changed from cohort to cohort based on their career survey of the old boy association of the Tohoku University. They found two trends. First, special white-collar workers tend to be promoted earlier than the 50 years-old ones. Second, specialist-career workers have increased. Less
