| Research Abstract |
The regional dispersion in regular and non-regular employment by women is examined using microdata of Japan in recent years. I find that regional dispersion is large in regular full-time employment by married women, and it is small for married women's non-regular employment or single women's employment. The participation in regular full-time employment is highest in the Northern Coastal region (Yamagata, Niigata, Toyama, Ishikawa, Fukui, Tottori, and Shimane prefectures). I also explore how the regional dispersion changed over time using the data from 1930 to present. The Northern Coastal region emerged to the highest participation area after 1955.
