| Research Abstract |
The object of this study is to describe the life-history of the group employment (syudan-syushoku) generation who lived and worked in Tokyo. In order to accomplish this purpose, we had the intensive interviews with them and conducted the field survey of the village. Subsequently we discovered the following.
In 1950s or 1960s, the many adolescent have been to the big cities after graduated at the junior high school. They have formed the group and rode in the job train for Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya (syudan-syushoku). They were apprenticed to the shops and factories. They have lived in the dormitories.and have been working hard all day within the apprentice period. Because of serving strict masters and taking good fortunes they are working as the top management of shops and factories. In nowadays they are the winners of the group employment generation. Therefore we could trace the success story of this generation.
Through the high economic growth during the mid-1960s, the rural Japanese life had changed almost. The world of hard labor, poverty, dirt and early death had transformed to the world of the agricultural mechanization, affluent consumer life and part-time farming household Group employment of the many adolescent in 1950s and 1960s had disappeared in mid-1970s.
