| Research Abstract |
The objective of this study is to describe in detail the retiring process of former coal mine workers who experienced the disruption of employment at the Joban Coal Mine Co., Ltd., closure in 1971. The Joban Coal Mining Co., ltd., was one of the major coal mining companies of Japan but ceased operation on 1971. The above objective was accomplished through the following three steps.
(1) Construction of a large data base of micro-data regarding the careers of the workers who were once employed by the Joban Coal Mine Co.
(2) Analyses of the connection between the careers at the mine and those of the jobs after the closure of the mine and of the effect of involuntary career interruption.
(3) Longitudinal analysis of various careers of individual miners from the initial employment to the termination of employment.
The effects of involuntary interruption of careers, careers after disruption of employments, and their lives during retirement ware analyzed using the large data base for the entire lives, and the results were published.
