| Research Abstract |
In this Research I tried to analyze statistically, or quantitatively the relation between the increasing of labor productivity and decreasing labor or employment. For this object I used the data of the Input-Output Tables and the Linked Input-Output Tables edited and Issued by the Management and Coordination Agency government of Japan.
First I had to check the differences that are found in the industrial classification of the Input-Output tables issued in the different fiscal years, and arrange and unify the contents of same industry. Then, I tried to estimate the outputs of each industrial sector considering the results of this arrangement.
We have to consider, however; the influence of price fluctuations to the amounts of the outputs of each industrial sector. To remove and arrange the time element I used the inflators showed in the Linked Input-Output Tables of each fiscal year. I also tried the arrangement using the Corporate Goods Price Index issued by the Statistical Bureau of Nippon Bank.
As to labor or employment in the industries, I got the data from the Employment Table of the each year's Input-Output Table.
Using those statistical data, I calculated the outputs of per labor and the labor per-output. I confirmed the almost adverse trend of those two economic indicators. This trend was especially seen distinctly in the electrical appliances manufacturing industry, precision instrument manufacturing industry, transportation machine industry.
Finally, I presented this trend in the main manufacturing industries in graphs.
