Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics of Japanese society by analyzing various aspects of worklessness, which is characterized by Not in Education, Employment, or Training: NEET. First, a comparative study collaborated with France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom teams about a comparison of career patterns of young people has been done. In Japan, the NEET experience rate increased for males, the types differed between males and females, and the final educational background was also related to the types. In addition, we have also examined the influence of worklessness in the later life stage. These studies have revealed that the experience of unemployment suppresses the subsequent rise in income, gives psychological stress, and the different career pattern determine the retirement age of the elderly people. Worklessness are related to various aspects of social life.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

この研究は、これまで包括的なアプローチが行われていなかった「無業」に焦点あてて日本社会を理解しようという試みです。十数年前「ニート」という言葉で若年無業者が注目されました。近年あまり注目されていませんが、その後も減少したわけではありません。まず、この実態を他国との比較研究から明らかにしました。さらに中高年の無業問題にも焦点をあてて分析した結果、無業経験は、所得上昇を抑制したり、心理的なストレスを引き起こしたりしていました。無業経験は、社会生活にさまざまな影響を及ぼしているのです。単に失業対策にとどまらない広い意味での「無業」対策を考えていく必要性を提示できたと考えています。
