Abstract

This paper aims to examine the analytical methods used in empirical research on occupational change in Western countries using large-scale microdata, and to discuss the analytical challenges when conducting similar research on occupational change of Japanese labor market. First, it examines what sorts of indicators are used for rank-ordering occupations in previous studies, as well as whether or not part-timers should be included in the analysis. It then conducts the analysis using Japanese individual data from " Basic Survey on Employment Structure (Shugo Kozo Kihon Chosa in Japanese)," to examine how occupational ranking differs according to different measures of income levels for each occupation, as well as different selection of target populations according to working hours. The results reveal that, in terms of rank correlation, whether or not labor hours are controlled for, as well as individual attributes and employment types are controlled for, does not significantly alter the ranking in terms of the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. However, it emphasizes the importance of a preliminary process to confirm whether there are occupations where the ranking undergoes substantial changes before using the generated ranking as an indicator for analyzing occupational changes.
