About
Public employment data tracks major labour market trends and contract types in Japan over a five-year period. The dataset is assembled from publicly available Japanese statistics, providing crucial insights into shifting employment rates and worker demographics between 2017 and 2021. The information is divided across two distinct sheets: one detailing employment figures per 10,000 population for various employment categories, and the second focusing on percentage breakdowns of employment status (employed/unemployed) and the proportion of fixed versus indefinite duration contracts.
Columns
- year: The specific year for which the employment data was recorded, ranging from 2017 to 2021.
- emp_type: Describes the type of employment contract or status being measured, such as employment rate (percentage) or specific contract classifications.
- male: The recorded employment percentage or rate specific to the male population.
- female: The recorded employment percentage or rate specific to the female population.
Distribution
The primary data is available in a singular file structure, typically provided in CSV format. The dataset is structured into two main components (sheets). The available sample suggests around 20 records, focusing specifically on employment rate and contract type breakdown. The total size of the associated sample file is small (856 B). The data relies on polls and statistics collected by the Japanese government.
Usage
This data product is ideal for academic research focused on Japanese socioeconomics or labour market policy. It can be used to analyse gender differences in labour force participation rates and observe changes in contract prevalence, such as the use of "baito" (temporary/part-time worker status, common among students) or the specific classification of "entrusted employees" (often senior workers re-hired post-retirement). It facilitates longitudinal studies on how the Japanese employment landscape evolved during the covered years.
Coverage
The geographic scope is focused exclusively on Japan. The time range covered spans five years, from 2017 through 2021. Demographic coverage includes segmented data for male and female populations, and specific categorisations for employment types, allowing for analysis of demographics and retirement practices.
