Research Abstract |
Using the Japanese General Social Surveys, the Social Stratification and Social Mobility Surveys, and the Japanese Life Course Panel Survey, I conducted quantitative data analyses concerning educational and occupational choices. According to my analyses, the relative risk aversion hypothesis, which is based on the rational choice theory, is not supported in Japan, and the analyses also revealed a stable intergenerational pattern of educational attainments. In addition, I have prepared commentaries on the rational choice theory in the sociology of education and the methodology of panel data analysis.
