Outline of Final Research Achievements

As a result of conducting surveys on professionals to 1,086 men and women nationwide from 20 to 69 years, unlike the characteristics of "profession" in the United States supported by higher education, in contemporary Japan, it was suggested that the firm "qualification" with passing a national exam can be recognized as the characteristics of "profession". From the same survey, it was found that the ratio of recognizing that higher education, like the academic qualifications up to graduate school are necessary for professions is very low. In this research I also discussed the slump and future issues in terms with professional graduate schools such as law schools.
