| Research Abstract |
The aim of this research is to analyze the pattern on “school-to-work transition” of high school dropouts in Japan. The research was based on the JGSS (Japanese General Social Surveys) data set, and tested the validity of following three hypotheses: (1) “increasing in educational level” hypothesis, (2) “worsening youth labor market” hypothesis, (3) “transition from school-to-work” hypothesis. The analysis showed that early school-leavers in Japan might increase the risk of becoming unemployed not only because of the recession, but also because of the system of “school-mediated job search”
